- The overnight US Dollar bounce from a technically significant 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) fades rather quickly amid expectations that the Fed will slow the pace of its policy tightening. In fact, the markets now expect the US central bank to deliver a relatively smaller 50 bps rate hike in December, which led to the recent sharp decline in the US Treasury bond yields. This, in turn, continues to weigh on the USD and is seen as a key factor exerting downward pressure on the USD/JPY pair.
- The Japanese Yen, on the other hand, draws support from speculations that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will exit its ultra-lose policy stance. In fact, a Reuters poll indicated on Tuesday that more than 90% of economists expect that BoJ’s next policy move will be to unwind its massive monetary easing. The change, however, is not anticipated before the latter half of 2023. This, along with a positive risk tone, could undermine the safe-haven JPY and lend support to the USD/JPY pair.
