US dollar to Japanese yen: what to watch for today
USD/JPY rising or falling could be dependent on the progress of the US-China trade agreement and even Trump’s tweets. Makoto Kikuchi, chief executive of Myojo Asset Management, said that US President, Donald Trump, tweeting about raising Chinese tariffs had an unexpected effect on the Japanese yen during the nation’s long weekend holiday of Golden Week.
‘Anything could have happened during the long holiday but the market had not priced in a potential breakdown of the US-China trade talks. That’s a totally unexpected scenario,’ said Kikuchi.
Forex traders will monitor USD/JPY to see how the US-China trade talks will proceed and if they will continue to influence the currencies.
