Yen weakens further on GDP upside surprise

Morning Report: 08.30 London

• The
morning’s data has been encouraging, with Chinese exports rising and the trade balance increasing much more than expected. In addition, Japanese GDP increased more than expected. However, the market reaction has been muted with US payrolls due in the afternoon.

• The main movement has come on the yen pairs with the USD/JPY breaking to its highest levels since 2009. The USD/JPY is up 0.47%, with the EUR/JPY up 0.32% and the AUD/JPY up 0.24%.

• Elsewhere this morning we have UK consumer inflation expectations at 09.30, followed by German industrial production at 11.00.



Bet Idea:

• Fed days by their nature are largely unpredictable, with initial market reactions often retraced later in the day. With this in mind, it may be worth betting on the main trends continuing through to Monday.

• A good way to play this could be a ONE TOUCH trade on the USD/JPY, a pair that is showing sustained weakness at present.

A ONE TOUCH trade predicting that the USD/JPY touches 96.25 by the close on Monday could return 123% if successful.
