NZD/JPY waiting for Yen to weaken; tgt 86.0
FXStreet (Guatemala) - NZD/JPY remains to the downside on the daily chart despite the hourly progression higher and consolidation phase with a slow and range bound USD/JPY.
Raiko Shareef, Currency Strategist at BNZ illustrates that after a brief spurt higher in late July, USD/JPY has settled back into its well-worn range around ¥102. “We still believe that JPY will weaken into year-end, especially with BoJ officials recently sounding less confident about the pace of the Japanese economy. Certainly progress has stalled in terms of achieving the BoJ’s 2% inflation target. While the cross has fallen faster than we anticipated in the year to date, we do not expect it to progress much further south. Our year-end target remains 86.0”.
