Should We Be Wary of the Ongoing Yen Weakness, Which Shows No Signs of Slowing Despite Declines in PMI Indices Across Various Countries?

26.06.2023

Today's Highlights
  1. Remarks by Dingla, a Member of the MPC in the UK
  2. U.S. 2-Year Treasury Auction

Last weekend, the U.S. dollar rose against the yen despite the fact that the U.S. PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) figures released on the 23rd fell below the previous readings for both the manufacturing and services sectors. The USD/JPY pair rose from 142.675 to 143.862.The low 142-yen range, which had been viewed as resistance, turned into support, providing momentum for the upward move. During today’s Asian trading session, USD/JPY has been trading in the mid-143-yen range without a clear direction. We will wait and see cautiously to determine whether trading activity picks up during U.S. trading hours.

European currencies saw the pound rise against the yen, even though the preliminary UK PMI figures released last weekend on the 23rd fell below the previous readings for both the manufacturing and services sectors. Although the GBP/JPY pair fell immediately after the PMI release, it regained momentum during U.S. trading hours, rising from 181.278 to 182.926.This marked a new high for the year. During today’s Asian trading session, despite opening with a gap down of about 40 pips, the GBP/JPY pair has been trading in a manner that suggests it is attempting to close the gap and continue its upward movement. It will be worth watching whether the pound continues to gain ground during European trading hours.

Today’s schedule includes Taiwan’s industrial production at 17:00, Germany’s IFO Business Climate Index, remarks by UK MPC member Dingla at 17:15, remarks by Swiss SNB Governor Jordan at 17:50, and at 19:00, the UK’sCBI Retail Trade Survey, at 21:00 the Mexican Economic Activity Index, at 23:25 remarks by SNB Board Member Meckl of Switzerland, at 23:30 the U.S. Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, at 24:30 the U.S. 6-month bill auction,26:00: U.S. 2-year Treasury auction; 26:30: Europe—remarks by ECB President Lagarde. We must remain highly vigilant regarding the ongoing yen depreciation trend, which continues undeterred by declines in national PMIs.
