The USD/JPY is seeing thin trading heading into the back half of the trading week, holding near the 147.50 level ahead of Thursday’s US Initial Jobless Claims that will give way to Friday’s Japanese Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the latest US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report that will cap off the trading week.
US Initial Jobless Claims are expected to show a slight uptick from 218K to 222K new jobless benefits seekers, and investors will be keeping eyes turned towards Friday’s NFP report, where the US is expected to see an additional 185K new jobs through November, a net increase over October’s 150K.
Japanese GDP is forecast to hold steady at a -0.5% contraction for the third quarter, a steady reading with the second quarter. Annualized GDP is likewise seen holding at -2.1% for the year through the third quarter as Japan continues to grapple with a weak economy struggling to find long-run growth factors.
The University of Michigan’s US Consumer Sentiment Index for December is also printing late on Friday, and consumers are expected by median market forecasts to show an improved outlook, from 61.3 to 62.0.

The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the Euro from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent EUR (base)/JPY (quote).
The USD/JPY is seeing thin, tight trading near the 147.50 level, with near-term bids getting propped up north of 146.00 while also constrained by the 148.00 handle to the topside.
The US Dollar has seen thin bidding since getting rejected from a bullish correction directly into the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which is currently turning bearish just below the 150.00 major handle.
To the downside, the 200-day SMA is still running far below price action, rising just beyond the 142.00 handle.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
