FOREX: USDJPY Consolidating Close to Session Lows

Sep-30 13:12
  • USDJPY has struggled to regain the 148 handle as the US session progresses, with the pair operating just 15 pips off the overnight session lows at 147.83. Bearish dollar momentum continues to be a function of the concerns related to the US government shutdown, with some analysts citing the JPY as the preferred vehicle to capitalise on these developments.
  • ING stated that the looming shutdown is raising some upside risks for EURUSD, which may test 1.180 in the next couple of days, although they still think JPY remains a more attractive way to play the shutdown.
  • Additionally, MUFG forecast the BoJ to resume rate hikes as soon as the October policy meeting – subject to the view that Shinjiro Koizumi wins the leadership election. A poll of lawmakers from the governing LDP ahead of its presidential election on Oct 04 cements Koizumi as the clear favourite to take over from Shigeru Ishiba as party leader.
  • Latest USDJPY price action sees us narrowing the gap to initial support which lies at 147.59, the 50-day EMA. Stronger pivot support has been defined at 145.49, the Sep 17 and post-Fed low.
  • The focus today shifts back to US data with the closely monitored JOLTS report for August and consumer confidence data for September due at 1500BST/1000ET. ISM manufacturing headlines tomorrow’s docket, with a potentially more significant ADP employment release subject to developments regarding the shutdown.
