Ashraf, please could we have your opinion if the Yen will strengthen further against the USD or will a reversal occur. Feeling a bit dejected as i felt being long USDJPY at the 89.5 and 90 level was a good decision when i entered the trade.

Ashraf, do you see JPY strength continuing? Seems to me equities are due for pullback, and might also choke on the employment numbers. Feeling slightly adrift today, looking forward to some guidance. Cheers.

Eelman, Yes that was my point about JPY leading possible downturn in stocks

JPY strength a "risk-off" message? HUH?

Appears as though jpy strength was sending a "risk off" message and the other instruments are now catching up.

Thanks Ashraf, but i think your call on support level was more accurate as it tested 88.56 last night. I am also puzzled about the reason behing this yen strength.

taniral, INDEED. 89.00 is decent support for 30-40 pip gains

i think 89.00 is now providing a more reliable support and hopefully a change in trend is occuring in favour of the USD.
