Yen's cloudy future leaves it in new range
The yen is entering a new trading range after dovish posturing by Japan's new Prime Minister and central bank chief.
Long yen positions appear to have unraveled as spot returns to 147.25, a level that approximates when futures accounts turned bullish the Japanese currency in early August.
There are event risks, including U.S. payrolls Friday, that could lift USD/JPY even further. However, there is little incentive to rush into new long positions given the expected direction of policy rates and strong technical resistance. The Fed is seen cutting at least twice by year-end,according to LSEG's IRPR page, and the Bank of Japan is likely to be sidelined until the next key inflation reading and parliamentary elections at the end of October.
USD/JPY bulls are also being corralled by an expanding daily Ichimoku cloud above 147 and price congestion below 149.40 the Aug. 15 high. In order to see upward momentum gather, investors would need to pile into yen carry positions again. This is unlikely given high levels of volatility and event risks. Bears, by contrast, would need spot beneath 145 to rekindle selling interest.
There may be potential for AUD/JPY to move up as new liquidity is pumped into global financial system. But, for now, dollar-yen appears content to stay in a 145-149 range.
