Abstract:Recently, the performance of the yen against the dollar has caused some anxiety in the market, especially as the yen weakens, leading investors to worry about its future performance.
The USD/JPY exchange rate briefly rebounded from below 155.00, but the yen remains weak, attracting significant attention. U.S. economic data has shown some signs of weakness, while expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) are rising, making the yen's outlook more complicated.
From a technical perspective, the USD/JPY has recently seen some rebound around the 155.00 level, with the exchange rate rising by over 50 points. While the exchange rate has recovered in the short term, if the yen continues to weaken, the next support levels could be around 154.60-154.55, with the possibility of dropping below 154.00, heading toward 153.30. On the other hand, if USD/JPY can maintain above 156.00, it could continue to rise, breaking through the 156.30-156.35 resistance zone and even targeting the key 157.00 level, further pushing the exchange rate higher.
BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda has stated that if economic and price conditions continue to improve, the BoJ may raise interest rates in the future. BoJ Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino has also mentioned that due to sustained wage growth, the upcoming meeting will likely discuss the possibility of a rate hike.
Although the yen remains weak, market expectations for a rate hike are still high, with the probability of a hike at the January 23-24 meeting reaching 79%. These rate hike expectations are providing some support to the yen and easing concerns about further depreciation.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities believe that the likelihood of a BoJ rate hike is increasing, which could continue to support the yen. However, Mizuho Securities holds a different view, arguing that if the market has not fully priced in the possibility of a rate hike, the BoJ may not rush to raise rates. Additionally, the expectation of Fed rate cuts could put some pressure on the dollar, affecting the USD/JPY rally.
Overall, while the yen may face pressure in the short term, the BoJ's rate hike expectations and the market's confidence in Japan's economic recovery could provide some support for the yen. The future movement will continue to be influenced by global economic data and BoJ policies, and it remains to be seen whether the yen will continue to depreciate.
