BoJ and US data matter more to yen than Japanese politics
Oct 28 (Reuters) -The fallout from the Japanese election, in which the ruling coalition, LDP and Komeito party, failed to secure a majority prompted a new wave of yen selling. With the yen recovering in relatively short order, however, this gives a sense that the sell-off in the currency may be starting to look somewhat stretched.
As has been highlighted previously, the pace of the yen drop has met the conditions to warrant action from Japanese officials to intervene. However, with USD/JPY still significantly below the prior highs of 160, it is unlikely intervention will take place.
The political backdrop remains a very fluid situation and headline risk will therefore be elevated going forward. That said, the implications for BoJ policy are limited, which in effect will likely limit how much yen downside can stem from the politics.
Instead, with key macro-U.S. data and a presidential election on the horizon, this should take precedent for yen traders.
There will, however, be focus on this week’s BoJ policy decision. With no change in rates expected, the accompanying statement from Governor Kazuo Ueda will be significant.
For now, the 200-day MA at 151.45 should put a floor under USD/JPY. Meanwhile, resistance sits at 153.88 (October high).
