USD/JPY Erases Losses as
Amari Retracts Yen
Comments; GBP Weakest
British Pound May Weaken
As Soft CPI Drives Dovish
BOE Bets
The US Dollar is the top performer once again as Asian
traders happily lapped up the world’s reserve
currency following the Monday bank holiday. At the
start of the week, with trading conditions thin, the US
Dollar was hit (relatively) hard after Japanese
Economy Minister Akira Amari said that the period of
excess Japanese Yen strength might have been
“largely corrected.” Today, Mr. Amari has backed off
of his stance, saying that “I have previously said that
the overly strong yen is in the process of being
corrected…I will not say it has been corrected, or
where it will finish.”
It appears that Mr. Amari has been reprimanded by
Japanese policy leadership, not a small coincidence
considering that the Bank of Japan is meeting and will
announce its latest measures, if any, tomorrow. With
Japanese data picking up in the near-term, notably the
1Q’13 GDP print at +3.5% annualized versus +2.7%
annualized expected, there is reason to believe that no
new measures will be announced. In light of the better
than expected data and the Amari commentary, there
are a few notable take away points for the next 24
hours: a weak Yen is desired; but if the Yen gets too
weak, it will have a negative impact on “people’s lives”
as it would create excessive upside pressure on
inflation, causing the BoJ to overshoot its target
creating a volatile monetary policy; and any further
selling of the Yen may be accompanied by selling in
JGBs, which puts upside pressure on interest rate
payments, which hurts government fiscal policy.
