In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the dollar fell against the yen. The USD/JPY pair dropped from 159.657 to 158.011, declining along the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. On the 4-hour chart, the price has moved from above the 20-period MA to below it, falling to just below the 75-period MA. On the daily chart, while the price is barely finding support at the 20-period MA, it continues to make lower highs.
Among European currencies, the Swiss franc fell against the yen. The CHF/JPY pair dropped from 202.454 to 200.567. It rebounded after hitting resistance at the 200-period SMA on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the price is moving from above the 20-period moving average (MA) to below it within a zone where short- and long-term MAs are clustered, while on the daily chart, it is holding firm just below the 20-period MA. Furthermore, on the weekly chart, the uptrend along the 10-period MA has continued since February of last year; therefore, we should remain cautious of upward pressure until the price falls below the 20-period MA on the weekly chart.
Today’s economic indicators include Japan’s Consumer Price Index at 8:30, remarks by RBNZ Governor Breman at 10:00, France’s Non-Manufacturing/Manufacturing PMI at 17:15, Germany’s Non-Manufacturing/Manufacturing PMI at 17:30, the Eurozone’s Manufacturing/Services PMI at 18:00, and the UK’sManufacturing/Services PMI, 9:30 PM US Nonfarm Productivity, 10:30 PM UK MPC Member Pill’s remarks, 10:45 PM US PMI Purchasing Managers’ Index, 11:00 PM US Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index, 2:00 AM Swiss SNB Governor Schlegel’s remarks, and a US 2-year Treasury auction.I want to wait and see if the Swiss franc, which has fallen against the yen, will recover.
