USD/JPY is not only oversold but big break at 140.09 is close. Break of 140.09 targets next 139.25, 138.43 and 136.77.
Long term targets for USD/JPY and JPY cross pairs remain and targets held since December / January.
The BOJ Producer Price Index reported June 12 and is expected to report again tomorrow on July 12. The intervention definitive answer is found in tomorrow's release. The revelation as suspected is no intervention. The Japanese were successful by jawboning USD/JPY a few extra pips lower. Years ago during the days of regular BOJ interventions, jawboning was always number 1 priority then came intervention.
And no intervention because Trade will report exports in Japan's favor. We will also see no words from the Japanese to USD/JPY levels.
From the Tankan Survey, the 2 most vital export currencies and most important markets for Japan are USD/JPY and EUR/JPY. Forget the Regional stuff reported as USD/JPY and EUR/JPY and Europe far outpace trade than Japan Trade with China or regional nations.
