USD/JPY: Bearish bias on the day – OCBC

USD/JPY continued to trade lower, as expectations on BoJ hike next week continues to build. Markets are pricing in 22bp hike at the upcoming MPC (vs. 11bp hike expectations at the start of the new year). Pair was last at 155.69 levels, OCBC's FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.

Risks remain skewed to the downside

"The shift this week in particular was due to comments from BoJ officials and a report in Japanese media, that said BoJ officials see good chance of an interest rate hike next week as long as Trump administration does not trigger too many negative surprises. Earlier this week, Governor Ueda spoke about making decision whether to raise rate at the upcoming BoJ meeting. He also shared there is positive views on wage hikes gathering momentum."

"Deputy Governor Himino also said MPC will discuss next week whether to raise rate or not and to raise rate if economic outlook is realized. All seem to point to high likelihood of a hike at the upcoming MPC (24 Jan). We continue to look for a hike as data continues to support policy normalization. Wage growth pressure remains intact, alongside broadening services inflation."

"Daily momentum is bearish while RSI fell. Risks remain skewed to the downside. Next support at 154.80 (50 DMA), 154.30 (23.6% fibo retracement of Sep low to Jan high) and 152.80 (200 DMA). Resistance at 156.40, 157.40 (21 DMA). Tactically, in our FX Weekly sent on Wed, we look for short SGDJPY targeting a move lower towards 110. Spot ref then at 115.10 with SL at 117.12. Cross was last at 113.70 levels."

Upozorenje o rizicima

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.
