EURO-YEN
EURO-YEN: Westpac recommend selling EUR/JPY at Y128.75, with a stop at Y129.45
and a target of Y126.65.
- Westpac reason that "ECB staffer's updated projections at the December meeting
will be key for ECB policy through 2019. Data has persistently undershot ECB's
path leaving their targets far from being achieved. Slower global growth, lack
of substantial Eurozone reforms and lower internal demand all suggest that
growth will remain low, despite firmer Eurozone employment data. ECB's forward
guidance may well be extended beyond the "end of summer" in terms of a potential
rise in key rates. EU is likely to be restrictive and punitive on potential
breaches of national budget guidance from France and Italy. EUR/JPY has been
steady despite large risk sentiment swings around US-China trade tensions and
going forward may remain insulated from a range of potential outcomes on this
front. The sharp fall in global yields should exert a gravitational pull on
EUR/JPY."
