In U.S. trading yesterday, the U.S. dollar emerged as the strongest currency. The USD/JPY pair rebounded by approximately 120 pips, rising from 146.229 to 147.450, recovering from its lowest level in the past three months.However, the USD/JPY pair’s daily RSI is trending downward from 70 and still has some room before reaching the oversold level of 30. We will need to carefully assess whether the U.S. dollar will maintain its upward momentum against the yen ahead of next week’s FOMC meeting.
European currencies saw the Swiss franc fluctuate against the yen after Switzerland’s November Consumer Price Index (CPI), released yesterday, showed a year-over-year decline of about 0.3 percentage points from the previous month’s 1.7% to 1.4%.The CHF/JPY pair fell by about 110 pips to 167.717 before recovering to its opening level. During today’s Asian trading session, the pair has been trending higher. We will need to keep an eye on price movements during the European session to see if the franc continues to rise against the yen.
