Key Quotes

“We expect USD/JPY to continue trading mostly sideways in the near term, with risk appetite and yields on 10Y UST the main drivers. Political events, most notably a potential summit meeting between Abe and Trump, represent a downside risk if concerns about a US-Japanese trade war increase. Taking FX positioning and the overall fragile risk environment into consideration, we see little potential for a sustained rally in USD/JPY above July’s high at 113.17 in the near term. We see the cross within a 110-113 range in the coming months, targeting 112 in 1-3M”.

“Longer term, the BoJ’s monetary policy should remain supportive for USD/JPY, driven by widening US-Japan yield spreads and continued outflows out of Japan. We target 114 in 6-12M”.
