Japanese Yen Outlook: USD/JPY, EUR/JPY & GBP/JPY

Key Support Levels:

  • USD/JPY:158.300

  • EUR/JPY:170.79

  • GBP/JPY:201.1

Key Resistance Levels:

  • USD/JPY:161.3

  • EUR/JPY:172.5

  • GBP/JPY:203.6

Recent economic data and market sentiment indicate a continued weakening trend for the Japanese yen across major currency pairs. The yen has slid as markets await key U.S. inflation data, with the USD/JPY pair showing strong upward momentum, potentially climbing above 165 despite Japan's concerns. Technical analysis suggests the path of least resistance remains to the upside for USD/JPY, driven by broad-based dollar strength.

Japanese officials, including the Chief Cabinet Secretary, have expressed concerns and are closely monitoring FX movements, hinting at potential intervention to defend the yen. However, recent interventions have had limited impact in reversing the yen's depreciation.

In terms of economic data, Japan's May jobless rate remains steady at 2.6% for the third straight month, indicating a stable labor market. Additionally, Japan's May industrial production rebounded by 2.8% month-on-month, led by the auto industry, which has resumed vehicle output. Despite these positive domestic indicators, the yen remains pressured by external factors, primarily the strong USD and higher U.S. interest rates.

Consolidated Impact on JPY Pairs

Overall Sentiment:Bearish for JPY, driven by strong USD performance, potential for further yen depreciation despite Japan's intervention efforts, and stable domestic economic indicators.

Key Influences:

  • USD/JPY:Strong USD performance and market expectations of higher U.S. interest rates.

  • EUR/JPY:Eurozone economic stability vs. yen weakness.

  • GBP/JPY:Pound strength against a      backdrop of yen depreciation and UK economic resilience.

Potential Movement:

  • USD/JPY:Likely to continue its upward trajectory, potentially breaking above 165.

  • EUR/JPY:Expected to test resistance levels around 172.5, contingent on Eurozone economic data.

  • GBP/JPY:May continue its rise towards 203.6, driven by GBP strength and yen weakness.

Important Economic Calendar Events for Japan

  • Japan Tankan Large Manufacturers Index (Q2)– July 3, 2024: A key indicator of business sentiment.

  • Japan Services PMI (June)– July 5,      2024: Reflects activity in the services sector.

  • Japan Household Spending (YoY) (May)– July 7, 2024: Measures consumer spending trends.

  • Japan Current Account n.s.a. (May)– July 10,      2024: Indicates trade balance and capital flow.

  • Japan PPI (YoY) (June)– July 11,      2024: Producer price index, indicating inflation at the wholesale level.

  • Japan Industrial Production (MoM) (May) - Final– July 13, 2024: Final measure of industrial output.

Japanese Yen Outlook: USD/JPY, EUR/JPY & GBP/JPY

The yen weakens further as Fed Chair Powell's cautious remarks influence market sentiment. USD/JPY remains around 161, with resistance at 162, driven by Powell's comments and upcoming US CPI data. June's lower-than-expected PPI in Japan adds pressure on the yen. The sentiment is bullish for USD/JPY, supported by strong US economic indicators. Key influences include Federal Reserve signals, US economic data, and Japan's PPI. Potential movement for USD/JPY could see it testing 162 resistance.

Today's analysis: Gold Prices Maintain Strength Amid Mixed Economic Signals

The U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.5 in June, below expectations, but the dollar rebounded after a Supreme Court ruling in favor of Trump. Investors await U.S. job data for hints on potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. Despite rising U.S. bond yields, gold remains strong near $2300. If it breaks above the 50-day moving average of $2337, it could reach $2390-$2400, but faces resistance at $2339.21. A drop below $2323.29 would weaken the bullish signal; watch for a breakout in the $2291.

USDJPY Predicted to Rise on Yen Depreciation

The USD/JPY pair is predicted to increase based on both fundamental and technical analyses. Fundamental factors include a potential easing of aggressive bond buying by the Bank of Japan (BoJ), which could lead to yen depreciation.
