Risk Aversion Lends Support To Yen

JPY

The yen benefitted from broader risk aversion on Thursday, which was the second consecutive bearish inside day for USD/JPY. The rate held most of the losses registered in Tokyo hours as global equity markets struggled amid hawkish Fed musings.

  • USD/JPY last trades at Y115.87, little changed on the day. Bears see Jan 4 low of Y115.29 as their initial target and a break here would open up the 20-EMA at Y114.92. Bulls look for a jump above Jan 4 high of Y116.35 would expose the 2.00 proj of Apr 23 - Jul 2 - Aug 4 price swing at Y117.08.
  • A raft of Japanese data just came out. December Tokyo CPI fell in line with expectations, but nationwide wage data for the month of November missed forecasts.
  • Next week's highlights include BoP current account balance & Eco Watchers Survey (Wednesday) as well as flash machine tool orders (Thursday) and PPI (Friday).
  • As a reminder, Japanese markets will be shut on Monday, as the country observes a national holiday.
