One might expect a little verbiage out of BOJ in Asia tonight to affect a less volatile tone with Yen and perhaps some slight covert allocation. Market won’t hesitate to test them again, its like an old western gunfight when you see 154+. Who blinks first.
Ok Franc is about finished (at least for now at 8654) with the risk premium from Geo conditions I mentioned Friday so it is likely to turn around here. So UsdChf is likely to remain a little under pressure overall it just might give people another chance to get in.
Yen futures 6580 is a key figure if UsdJpy is going to accelerate uphill. Some metrics are hitting here so there is some potential, which would mean the market is satisfied the gap is filled. I am not satisfied but it is what it is.
Japan 10yr yield at 0.966 is targeting 1.000 and one might consider Japan would be offering a higher yield under the circumstances with 1.106 being the July high.
While there is a full calendar of events this week to suggest volatility and opportunities to trade, the key focus is looking ahead to the Nov 6=5 US elections. With polling continuing to indicate a tossup, there is enough uncertainty to suggest thinning conditions as we head into next weekend.
