CHFJPY Forecast: Swiss Franc Continues to Consolidate Against Yen (2 April 2024)

CHF/JPY consolidates; ¥167 support key. Interest rate dynamics between SNB and BoJ shape pair’s trend. Break above ¥169 may signal uptrend, influencing JPY pairs.

  • The Swiss franc has been back and forth during the trading session on Monday, as this market is going to continue to see a lot of noisy behavior.
  • The ¥167 level underneath has been offered support a couple of times, and therefore I think it’s possible that we would see a situation where we have a lot of noise in this area.

A Battle Between Funding Currencies

The Swiss franc initially did try to rally against the Japanese yen, but as it pulled back it looks like we are just simply settling into some type of short-term range. This is a pair that I watch quite often, due to the fact that one of the facts of life when trading currencies is that you are trying to move with interest rates. The Swiss franc and the Japanese yen are two of the world’s favorite funding currencies, and even though the Bank of Japan recently increased interest rates to a whopping 0.1%, the reality is that the Swiss National Bank has recently cut rates. That’s part of why we are seeing a downtrend in the short-term, but in the longer term we still see an interest rate differential that pays you to own this pair at the end of the day. Granted, it’s not a lot but it’s enough to continue to favor shorting the Japanese yen.

Ultimately, this is a situation where if we can break above the 50-Day EMA above, which is closer to the ¥169 level, then we could see quite a bit of upward momentum. In that environment, I would anticipate that the Japanese yen would get eviscerated against most currencies, not just this one. After all, this will be the “weakest currency” to match up against the Japanese yen, so this will give you a good idea as to how many people will be jumping into short the yen, and start buying other currencies in pairs like the GBP/JPY, NZD/JPY, and AUD/JPY currency markets. In other words, this chart is a bit of a harbinger for what happens with the JPY overall.

EURJPY Forecast: #Euro Continues to Search for Support Again Slowly Japanese #Yen (2 April 2024)

Euro seeks support against JPY; interest rate differential favors Europe. EUR/JPY expected to rise, with BoJ’s modest rate hike unlikely to impact long-term trend.

  • The euro initially tried to rally a bid during the early hours on Monday, but then drifted a bit lower against the Japanese yen.
  • That being said, I still believe that this market eventually goes higher, as we have such a huge interest rate differential between the 2 currencies.
  • Granted, I don’t necessarily think that the market shoot straight up in the air, but I do think that it’s only a matter time before the buyers jump back in insert taken advantage of value.

The interest rate differential continues to favor Europe, but even then, you have to keep in mind that the ECB is likely to cut rates later this year. That being said, I still think the Japanese yen remains a bit of a punching bag for the currency markets, and therefore I’m looking for an opportunity to start buying this pair again. I need to see some type of short-term bounce to take advantage of, and then I will get long yet again.

Bank of Japan

The Bank of Japan is of course in focus, due to the fact that the Japanese have recently raised interest rates. That being said, the interest rate is still just 0.1%, so I would not read too much into it being tighter down the road. In fact, they have since walked back the idea of raising interest rates to aggressively, so I think you probably have a situation where it’s only a matter of time before traders will continue to punish the Japanese in.

Underneath, we have the 50-Day EMA coming into the picture offering a bit of support, and I think at this point in time, it continues to act as a bit of a short-term trendline. I’m simply waiting for some type of short-term bounce to take advantage of so I can get on the “right side of the V” after that bounce, then you have a place from which to place your stop loss. Ultimately, the market I think will revisit the highs, and I do not think that we have seen the swing high for the longer term at this point in time. I have no interest in shorting this market.

USDJPY Slides to Lowest Level Since 1990 (27 MARCH 2024)

The Japanese yen has edged higher on Wednesday. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 151.17, down 0.26%.

Yen falls to 34-year low, will Tokyo intervene?

The Bank of Japan raised interest rates last week for the first time since 2007. The move marked a sea-change in monetary policy. However, the tightening has not translated into gains for the Japanese yen, which remains under pressure. Earlier today, the yen fell as low as 151.97, its lowest level since 1990.

Will the yen’s slide trigger a currency intervention from Japan’s Ministry of Finance? The MOF intervened last October when the yen dropped to 151.94, which means we are clearly within “intervention territory”. The MOF’s response to the current decline, however, has been limited to verbal intervention.

On Monday, as the top currency diplomat, Masato Kanda, sent a warning to speculators that he was concerned by the yen’s slide, saying it did not reflect fundamentals. Earlier today, Japan’s finance minister, Shunichi Suzuki, warned that excessive movement by the yen would be answered with “decisive steps”.

Japanese officials have limited their response to the yen’s woes with jawboning but the risk of intervention is very real and will increase if the yen continues to lose ground. Still, it should be noted that last year’s interventions didn’t really get the job done, as yen gains were short-lived.

The lack of certainty as to whether Tokyo will intervene to prop up the yen could result in volatility for USD/JPY and investors will be listening carefully to every comment coming out of the BoJ or the MOF.

  • USD/JPY remains range-bound on the weekly chart:
