Forex. USDJPY: Japanese yen has updated 20-year lows

USD/JPY, currency, Forex. USDJPY: Japanese yen has updated 20-year lows

The yen continues to decline as Europe prepares for a rate hike...

The yen hit a new 20-year low against the dollar on Wednesday and fell to a seven-year low against the euro as traders await a meeting of the European Central Bank that is likely to leave Japan alone among its peers adhering to an ultra-easy monetary policy.

The ECB meeting will take place on Thursday, and markets expect that it will at least lay the groundwork for a rapid rate hike, if not start them with a small increase.

The US Federal Reserve is expected to raise the benchmark federal funds rate by 50 basis points next week and again in July, but Bank of Japan (BOJ) officials have given no indication of easing accommodation measures.

The yen, accordingly, lost more than 4.5% from 127.09 per dollar to 133.22 in eight sessions, falling strongly in crosses, as investors see that rising consumer prices are forcing central banks around the world to limit demand by rapidly raising rates.

On Wednesday, it was trading at 133.39 per dollar, and last time it was at 133.25.

Against the Australian dollar, the yen fell by more than 6% in 10 sessions to a seven-year low of $ 96.12 per Australian dollar, accelerating the decline after an unexpectedly significant increase in the interest rate in Australia on Tuesday.

It has been declining for 10 consecutive sessions against the euro, which is its longest losing streak in eight months, and reached a seven-year low of 142.56 at the beginning of European trading.

"The difference in yields continues to favor the US dollar, the USD/JPY pair has overcome the 132 mark," said Matt Simpson, senior market analyst at City Index brokerage.

"It is quite obvious that the Bank of Japan prefers to protect control over the yield curve more at the expense of a weak currency," he said. "135 is the next important line in the sand - the maximum of February 2002."

The Bank of Japan allows an increase in the base yield of 10-year bonds to 0.25 percentage points from the target of 0%.

The yield of the Japanese benchmark was last at 0.245%, compared with the yield of 10-year US debt at 3.005%.

The euro lost 0.2% against the dollar to $1.0677, leaving it roughly in the middle of its recent range, and the pound was slightly weaker at $1.2566.

However, the changes were quite modest ahead of the ECB's fall asleep and the publication of US inflation data on Friday.

The dollar also strengthened against the risk-sensitive Australian and New Zealand dollars, as a result of which the Australian dollar declined by 0.36% to $ 0.7202, and the New Zealand dollar declined by 0.43% to $ 0.6462.

"Since quantitative tightening has replaced quantitative easing, and the Fed is expected to raise the rate by 100 basis points this summer, you buy bonds and sell the dollar at your own risk," said Societe Generale strategist Keith Jukes, meaning that such tactics contradict market trends.
