USD/JPY Hits New Pullback Low, Despite Yields Holding Steady

JPY
  • USD/JPY resuming losses into the NY crossover after the initial sell-off paused somewhat over the past two hours or so. Move in the pair not coinciding with US yields as was the case earlier this morning, but we note an uptick in activity across JPY futures as US markets begin to open.
  • Cumulative volumes across JPY futures are close to 80% above average for this time of day after the sharp JPY rally earlier this morning and the break below the 50-dma of 149.44.
  • 148.81 undercuts as next support, the late October low, which could come into play should rate differentials work further in favour of USD weakness.
  • Speaker slate takes focus ahead, with several Fed/ECB/BoE reps on the docket (see our guide here: https://marketnews.com/friday-speaker-guide-frankf... )
