$/Yen hat das hohe Niveau (104,30) nicht halten können und ist wieder deutlich zurückgefallen...(aktuell 103,50)...nicht gerade ein bullisches Zeichen...Spekulation über den Yuan machen die Runde...
The China revaluation-factor
JPY first weak yesterday on impression that China would need to take its time before revaluing - then JPY stronger again overnight as story said that China will discuss FX at the upcoming G7 meeting.
Wenn ich es recht verstehe, dann geht es darum, dass Japan einen stärkeren Yen befürworten könnte, wenn auch China seine Währung "angleicht"...damit hätten die japanischen Exportunternehmen keinen starken Wettbewerbsnachteil gegenüber den Chinesischen Exportfirmen...ein stärkerer Yen (Kursziele unter 90 bei $/yen wurden schon herumgereicht), wäre dann kein großes Problem mehr für die Japaner und es gäbe dann auch wohl keine Interventionen der Bank of Japan bei diesen Kursen...
ist natürlich ein sehr wichtiges Thema für die Währungsmärkte...darf man gespannt sein, was da noch rauskommt...
USDJPY
USD/JPY reversed back lower again after yesterday’s rocket ride to as high as 104.30. The downside toward 102.50 support is preferred as long as 103.80 remains in tact – though the market is extremely nervous and confidence is low here as the market seems too easily tossed around by the latest rhetoric. If the pair break beyond yesterday’s highs and head back through 104.50, however, the technical situation would look much different and would threaten to derail the entire structural bearish scenario – a development that would be beyond our comprehension on a fundamental basis.
dt. Bank:
USD JPY (103.50) The yen weakened sharply yesterday as the likelihood of a near-term yuan revaluation
continued to shrink following comments by a Chinese official. Weak Japanese economic data also suggested
that the ‘soft patch’ there was being strung out. And a downward revision in inflation expectations meant that
monetary tightening in Japan also looks to be a distant prospect. The ensuing dollar rally was still not enough
to deliver a stabilisation, but it was enough reach the level (104.20) that we considered ideal for establishing a
new bearish strategy. The current objective is therefore 101.70 – a level that also marks the trigger point for
additional declines and our very first support. To the upside, the risk-limit can already be set to yesterday’s
104.35 high.
