Mid-Day Report: Yen Jumps Broadly after Noda's Comments, Euro Falls after ECB

The Japanese yen steals the spotlight from ECB and BoE rate decision today and breaks through 80 level against dollar for the first time since G7 coordinated intervention in mid-march. Selloff in the commodity market is being one of the major factors in yen's strength. In additional, more fuel is added to yen buying as Japanese Finance Minister Noda said that today's jump in yen is different from the move that triggered intervention on March 18. Noda, also refused to comment on the possibility of intervention should yen continue rise. Besides, markets are also in risk averse mode after US initial jobless claims jumped sharply to 474k in the week ended April 30. Continuing claims also jumped by 74k in the week ended April 23 to 3.73m. Today's acceleration in decline in yen crosses as well as the break of 80 psychological support now opens up the case for further yen strength to retest post natural disaster high made in March.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 80.23; (P) 80.71; (R1) 80.99; More.

USD/JPY's decline is still in progress and extends further to as low as 79.58 so far today. Intraday bias remains on the downside and the break of 61.8% retracement of 76.40 to 85.51 at 79.88 now sets the stage for deeper fall to retest 76.40 spike low. On the upside, above 80.43 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But break of 82.76 is needed to signal short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain cautiously bearish.
