In Thread: JPY
Hi Ashraf, I am hoping to get your views on the USDJPY levels on the basis of _possible_ rally of USDX upon the FOMC tomorrow. Would change in the stance of the "extended period" of interest-rate or otherwise speculation drive the USDJPY higher (or lower)?

Thanks, Callum

I wonder how much is the market reading into the Janet Yellen story, and whether she could now have a bigger influence on keeping the interest rates low for extended period storyline. Tomorrow's FOMC would be interesting.

Not sure if anyone noticed, in the past 3 monday, Cable has taken a big fall.

Anyone got any idea why cable fell but GBPJPY still looking very stubborn?

This time, is this because of the Moody's report on AAA rating for US and UK?

Did anyone watch the Chinese Premier's Q&A session that was televised live yesterday? I was watching it live but couldn't really get a sense of how the big boys could read into this.

Naively, sounded more of the same on the RMB appreciation and no mention of lending rates. Inflation worries in terms of what actions they plan to take, did he sort of not answer it directly?

Hi Ashraf, sometimes I hear Chinese release data on weekends incl Sunday. Do you think this is likely? I also noted your comment this is not a scheduled release, so this could be anyone's guess :-)

@Desi, I would love to learn from you where you get the China rate data, and schedule. It's a pity I can't get this from usual economic calendar.

@AVG, I am also considering JPY based option to take advantage of the possibility of Chinese lending rate. Do you happen to know what time is the China lending rate announcement??

It will come down to timing and the short levels. I am a little concerned about the 123.80 level.

Currently, I am watching the EURUSD carefully, and as unlikely as it seems, suppose it manages break above and head into 137 (now just above 13670), EURJPY should move up and possibly make a run into 124. Also, the pre-Aust open has a tendency to push things higher, and if that happens today, it could again push this higher.

anyone shorting S&P at these levels? I am just wondering whether it will try to test 1150 first before a collapse.

Here's the latest from Ashraf's tweet: "i see 70% (from 40%) chance for 27-bp hike in China's 1-yr LENDING rate tomorrow. #china #pboc $USDX #market $SDS $GLD $$"

What's the implication of this 27-bp hike? Stronger $USDX?
