Francis, as I said in the IntradayThoughts, focus on the symmetrical triangle in the weekly chart. 95 support, 98.50 resistance. FX is now good for short-term momemtum traders looking to ride waves of rising risk appetite or risk aversion. It's more straighforward during the morning London session. Ashraf
My base case scenario is for yen to drop across the board and stocks to rally from mid November till mid January. under which 96 may hold up but id say 95.00 just to play it on the safe side. This scenario is more of a seasonal analysis that Im using rather than a change of fundamentals. If not mid November then maybe towards Thanksgiving.
Having said that, stocks are undergoing a severe loss of confidence, whereby each and every advance is followed by more than twice as much in declines. fundamentals are simply horrible and unemployment has yet to exceed 8.5% from the current 6.5%. so be careful.

During yesterday's sleepy markets, I highlighted in this tweet the rally in bund futures (rising prices, falling yields) may signal similar price action at the subsequent session, when US bond yields/prices return from Memorial Day Weekend. Today's bond price action did not disappoint, as the homogenous asset class moved in concert, delivering gap ups in prices and falling yields. This was a desperately needed development for yen bulls (particularly USDJPY shorts). Interpret what you wish from the chart below as to which is the dependent and independent variable (USDJPY or yield spread). Who leads whom? Shorting USDJPY has been the "pain trade" for our WhatsApp Broadcast Group, as we await Wednesday's debt ceiling vote and the JOLTs survey. Hanging in there.
