-YEN: ANZ Go Long AUD/JPY

AUSSIE

ANZ go long AUD/JPY at Y76.27, with a target of Y78:40 and stop loss at Y75.40. They note that "after a couple of weeks of indecision, markets appear to be breaking more decisively in a risk-on fashion. There are two elements to this move:

  • The hope that President Trump will bless a strong stimulus bill from the Democrats, reducing the risk of a near-term fiscal cliff.
  • Polling and betting markets are pricing-in a blue wave in Washington, with both stronger growth, and lower geopolitical uncertainty the likely result.
  • Uncertainty remains high, so the risk around these events is relatively elevated. However, a number of our indicators suggest that market pricing is not too extended, with conservative growth outcomes still in the price and a strong upside possible should events unfold as the market hopes."
