The USD/JPY pair is trading marginally lower this Friday, technically neutral, with the risk skewing to the downside, FXStreet’s Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik reports. Japan’s National inflation ex-fresh food fell to -0.2% YoY in April while the BoJ announced a further 30 trillion yen program to broaden coronavirus support. Key quotes “Japan published its National April inflation, which came in worse than anticipated. The CPI ex-fresh food was down by 0.2% when compared to a year earlier. Also, the BoJ had a monetary policy meeting, in which policymakers announced a further 30 trillion yen plan to broaden support to small and medium-sized companies, hit by the coronavirus pandemic.” “The 4-hour chart shows that it’s holding above its 200 SMA but below the 20 SMA, with both lacking directional strength. Technical indicators hover directionless just below their midlines.” “The USD/JPYpair traded as low as 107.31, which confirms the relevance of the 107.30 support. The bearish case will be firmer once the pair breaks below it.” FX Street FX Street FXStreet is the leading independent portal dedicated to the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.
