The yen has continued to trade at weaker levels during the Asian trading session with USD/JPY hitting a fresh intra-day high of 134.56 as it moves closer to the high from back in 2002 at 135.15. Yen weakness’ is set to extend further on a break above the latter, economists at MUFG Bank report.
“The BoJ’s contrasting stance with other major central banks leaves the yen vulnerable to further weakness in the near-term at least while the sell-off in global equity markets has paused for now.”
“Yen weakness is likely to accelerate further if USD/JPY breaks above 135.15. BoJ Governor Kuroda is not convinced though that there is much further room for the USD/JPY to continue marching higher unless the Fed to delivers faster and more rate hikes than currently planned.”
