USD/JPY: Sideways near the lows – OCBC
|USD/JPY continued to trade lower, following the broad decline in USD, UST yields, OCBC FX strategists Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.
USD/JPY continues to trade lower
“Earlier in the week, BoJ Governor submitted a document to government panel, which reiterated that the BoJ would continue to raise interest rates if the economy and prices perform as expected by the BoJ. Fed-BoJ policy shifts will bring about a narrowing of UST-JGB yield differentials and this should continue to underpin the broader direction of travel for USD/JPY to the downside.”
“Pair was last seen at 143.53. Bullish momentum on daily chart is fading while RSI fell. Sideways trading likely. Support at 143.45 (recent low), 142 levels. Resistance at 145.90 (21 DMA), 147.20 (recent high).”
