==========

Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda had a press conference about monetary policies. Mr Kuroda exercises general control over the Bank's business.

Kuroda: BoJ monetary stimulus having positive effect on economy

During a meeting with credit cooperative officials on Friday, Bank of Japan head Haruhiko Kuroda assured that the central bank's injections of monetary stimulus had been having favorable effects on the Japanese economy. He projected further gradual recovery and quicker annual Core CPI growth.

"The BOJ will continue with quantitative and qualitative easing, aiming to achieve the price stability target of 2 percent, as long as it is necessary for maintaining this in a stable manner," Kuroda said.

At its last meeting the BoJ decided to keep the monetary expansion at an annual rate of JPY 60-70B, while upgrading its view on capital expenditure.

Trading the News: U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (based on Trading U.S. 3Q GDP- Dollar at Risk Amid Slowing Growth article)

A slowdown in the U.S. economy may trigger a new round of dollar weakness as it raises the Fed’s scope to further delay the exit strategy.

What’s Expected:

Time of release: 11/07/2013 13:30 GMT, 8:30 EST
Primary Pair Impact: USDJPY
Expected: 2.0%
Previous: 2.5%
Forecast: 2.0% to 2.5%



Why Is This Event Important:

Fears of a slowing recovery may encourage the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to carry its highly accommodative policy stance into 2014, and the greenback remains at risk of facing additional headwinds over near-term as the fiscal drag continues to dampen the outlook for growth.

How To Trade This Event Risk

Trading the U.S. 3Q GDP print may not be as clear cut as some of our other trade setups in light of the European Central Bank (ECB) Meeting

Bearish USD Trade: 3Q GDP Expands Less Than 2.0%

  • Need to see red, five-minute candle following the print to consider a short dollar trade
  • If market reaction favors a bearish dollar trade, sell USDJPY with two separate position
  • Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward
  • Shift stop to cost on remaining position once initial target is hit, set reasonable limit
Bullish USD Trade: Growth Rate Exceeds Market Forecast
  • Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long USDJPY trade
  • Implement same setup as the short dollar trade, just in reverse



Potential Price Targets For The Release

  • Still Stuck in Wedge/Triangle Formation; Continues to Approach Apex
  • Relative Strength Index Retains Threatening Trendline Resistance
  • Interim Resistance: 99.00 Pivot to 99.20 (23.6 expansion)
  • Interim Support: 96.40 (23.6 expansion) to 96.60 (50.0 expansion)

Based on the article : Is The USD/JPY Finally Ready to Break Higher?

Fundamental Forecast for Japanese Yen: Neutral

  • US Dollar attempts break above critical resistance versus Yen only to reverse sharply lower
  • We’re watching US Treasury Yields and Japanese data to gauge whether the pair breaks higher


The Japanese Yen finished the week almost exactly where it began, but an impressive Dollar surge leaves the USDJPY exchange rate at major technical levels. Might this be the week we finally see a major break in the Yen? 

The Yen has gone almost nowhere versus the US Dollar as relatively steady monetary policy expectations for both the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan keeps the yield-sensitive currency similarly stable. Yet there’s little secret that Japanese Prime Minister Abe and BoJ Governor Kuroda have made it a priority to keep policy as loose as possible in a bid to fight deflation and boost economic growth.

Thus we look to upcoming GDP figures to gauge whether the so-called policies of “Abenomics” are taking effect and—more importantly—whether the BoJ is likely to keep current Quantitative Easing measures unchanged through the foreseeable future.
