Yen Firms In Early Dealing

FOREX

The Yen is the strongest performer in the G-10 space at the margins, USD/JPY is down ~0.2% and last prints at ¥144.30/40. Elsewhere in G-10 ranges are narrow with little follow through on moves.

  • JPY strength looks to be associated with concerns over intervention risk and a marginally tick lower in US Tsy Yields this morning. Support comes in at ¥143.29, low from 27 June. Resistance is at ¥145.07 the high from June 30.
  • Kiwi is marginally softer, NZD/USD has dealt below yesterday's low. However ranges remain narrow and there has been little follow through on moves thus far.
  • AUD is also a touch lower, AUD/USD prints at $0.6650/55. Support comes in at $0.6596, low from June 29 and bear trigger. Resistance is at $0.6721 Jun 27 high.
  • Cross asset wise; BBDXY is little changed from opening levels and e-minis are a touch lower.
  • On the wires today we have Australian Trade Balance, a surplus of $10.9bn is expected, further out German Factory Orders and a slew of US data including ADP Employment and ISM Services will cross.
