Should We Watch for Downside Potential in Cross-Yen Pairs Facing Resistance?

Market Report

Should We Be Wary of Further Downside Potential in Cross-Yen Pairs, Which Are Struggling to Gain Ground?

07.06.2023

Today's Highlights
  1. Canada: BOC Policy Rate and Statement Release
  2. U.S. Weekly Crude Oil Inventories

In the U.S. currency market the previous day, the U.S. dollar rose against the euro. The EUR/USD pair fell back from 1.0732 to 1.0667.This move offset the rebound seen the day before yesterday. On the daily chart, the EUR/USD pair is trading just below the 200-day EMA; if it breaks below this support level, it could extend its decline toward the next support level around 1.0559. Therefore, traders should remain cautious regarding downside potential during European trading hours.

Among European currencies, the pound saw a back-and-forth movement against the yen. GBP/JPY traded within a range of 172.683 to 173.7776 as it sought direction; although it rose to the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart, it did not hold that level for long and fell back.During today’s Asian session, the pair has been trading below the 20-period moving average on the hourly chart and moving lower, so traders should watch for a continued decline during the U.S. session.

Today's economic indicators include the Swiss unemployment rate at 14:45, German industrial production and the UK Halifax house price index at 15:00, and the Frenchtrade balance and current account balance at 15:45, the U.S. MBA Mortgage Applications Index at 20:00, Canada’s trade balance and first-quarter labor productivity index at 21:30, the U.S. trade balance at 21:30,at 11:00 PM: Canada’s BOC policy rate and statement; at 11:30 PM: U.S. weekly crude oil inventories; at 4:00 AM: U.S. consumer credit balances; and at 7:45 AM the following day: New Zealand’s Q1 manufacturing sales. Investors should be mindful of the downside potential for cross-yen pairs, which are facing resistance on the upside.
