Japanese yen sinks to forecast Y86 level

In May 2009 I made the forecast (see blog post here) that the USD would fall to 86.5 before it would recover. This happened on the 7th October 2009, or near enough. The USD has been in a recovery against the Yen since. I would not be surprised to see the USD-JPY fall back again to this level before it rises. The justification will be primarily stronger interest rates in the US.

The prospect of an increase in energy taxes will also help the country's tax receipts and the terms of trade. I would not however be expecting any great improvement in the USD however....but expect some consolidation. The USD remains technically in its down trend against the Yen.

AUDJPY: Market Call

The AUDJPY has done a whole lot of nothing for the last few days.Can you blame it? It must be tired after the recent climb.More seriously, with the RBA considering whether to raise rates another 25 or perhaps even 50 basis points, I don't expect any type of calamitous drop.I think we might see a drop down to 83.00 again but if it does stop in that region I'd consider the range between there and

AUDJPY: October Trend

The AUDJPY has been on an upward trajectory for a while now.There is no telling, at least not in advance, whether we'll see more massive upward movement due to hawkish statements from the RBA or not.However, here is a 3hr chart showing recent movements:Obviously, clear support and resistance helps identify some lower risk entry points.
