Will Market Participants Keep a Close Eye on the Direction of the U.S. Dollar, Which Has Weakened Against the Yen?

12.08.2024

Today's Highlights
  1. India · Consumer Price Index
  2. Turkey: Employment Statistics

Last weekend, the U.S. dollar weakened against the yen. The USD/JPY pair fell from 147.876 to 146.284.On the hourly chart, the price fell from above the 20-period moving average (MA) to below it. On the 4-hour chart, the 20-period MA is barely holding as support. On the daily chart, the RSI remains below 30, so we will be watching closely to see if the U.S. dollar recovers during European trading hours.

Among European currencies, the Swiss franc fell against the yen. The CHF/JPY pair dropped from 170.489 to 169.309. The decline occurred as the pair was capped by the +2σ line of the hourly Bollinger Bands.Although the pair is trading below the 20-period moving average (MA) on the 4-hour chart, it rebounded during today’s Asian trading session, and on the daily chart, an uptrend is visible from below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA).

Today’s economic indicators include Sweden’s expected price trends at 1:30 p.m., Turkey’s employment statistics and the Czech Republic’s consumer price index at 4:00 p.m., India’s consumer price index and Mexico’s consumer confidence index at 9:00 p.m., India’s industrial production at 9:00 p.m., and Russia’s trade balance at 24:30, a U.S. 6-month Treasury bill auction at 24:30, and the U.S. budget balance at 27:00. I want to carefully assess the direction of the U.S. dollar, which has weakened against the yen.
