Daily Report: Yen Weakness Continues on BoJ Speculation, BoC Watched

The Japanese yen remains the weakest currency as recent selloff in the currency pushed USD/JPY through 80 psychological level briefly today. Speculation of additional easing from BoJ, as soon as on it's meeting next week, intensified further. its reported that BoJ officials are already discussing additional measures to boost recovery that include expansion of its asset buying program. Meanwhile, political pressure continues to be on the central bank. Seiji Maehara, the first minister to join a BoJ meeting in nearly a decade, said he'd probably join next week's meeting again. Maehara said today that he hopes to "continue calling on the BOJ to pursue powerful monetary easing to achieve at an early date its 1 percent inflation target". USD/JPY retreats mildly after breaching 80 but that should be relatively shallow. We'd expect broad based weakness in the yen to continue in near term.

Featured Technical Report

USD/CAD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9903; (P) 0.9934; (R1) 0.9951; More.
Despite breaching 0.9948 resistance (38.2% retracement of 1.0455 to 0.9633 at 0.9943) to 0.9963, there was no follow through buying in USD/CAD and the pair retreated. With 4 hours MACD crossed below signal line, intraday bias is turned neutral first. Focus remains on 0.9948. As noted before, sustained break there will have larger bullish implication and will target 61.8% retracement at 1.0141 and above. On the downside, break of 0.9762 support is needed to confirm completion of rebound from 0.9633. Otherwise, further rally will stay mildly in favor even in case of deep retreat.
