Don't Forget the Yen

Much ado about USD rebounds during falling markets, but JPY strength still outperforms USD.

Dan, emphasis on the USD structural and cyclical concerns shift around. just like risk appetite dominated for over a year, now yield differentials seem to resurface. Or is it really the case? the structural concerns are still here. it is just that the Eurozone problems may be shifting from cyclic to struct. Paradigms in FX shift around and market watchers must be keep their eye on the ball.

Ashraf, analysts seem to be divided between those who view dollar decline as a structural affair vs others who consider it to be a merely cyclical decline. Seems you are in the strcutural camp. Is that right? Thanks.

my forecast albeit it did go beyong the level but i was looking at a year end.


June 21, 2009 16:22 ET In Thread: Where will EURUSD close by end of June? (Poll)
it is in the interest of the world for a strong dollar to help both exporters and longer term interest rates down. I can't see the dollar going down against the euro beyond 1.45 as too many issues with europe. Although speculators net long of euro.

Dan, yes, i mentioned earlier in the forum that i changed my 1.55 target onto $1.44 for year end. We could go as low as $1.41 before that though.

John, i just raised my USDJOY target to 9.70 and 91.25 while issuing negative stance on GBPUSD, which leads me to expect GBPJPY to remain capped at 148.
