FOREX: Greenback Follows Yields Lower, Working Further in Favour of GBP, JPY

Jul-24 11:54
  • The fade in the USD into the NY crossover begins to pick up pace, with GBP/USD reversing the day's initial losses to print a new daily high at 1.2915 as markets continue to chew through a small part of yesterday's, and the overnight, losses. The latest move also prompts a fresh wave of selling across both USD/JPY and USD/CHF - both of which trades particularly heavy as the carry trade dynamics evident in recent months continue to unwind. 
  • Yields are proving to be supportive of the USD weakness, with the 10y yield returned back toward the day's lowest levels in tandem. 
  • 153.60 marks next key support for USD/JPY ahead, the mid-May low. A break and close below here opens 151.86 the post-April intervention lows in the pair. Futures volumes and activity in JPY futures are particularly healthy - JPY futures volumes sit near 40% ahead of average for this time of day. Flash US PMI numbers, and the BoC decision, provide the next flashpoints for activity - with wholesale inventories data unlikely to move the needle.
