04 Sep 2015 02:00GMT
USD/JPY- ..... The greenback continued to edge lower yesterday and fell sharply to 119.64 in NY morning after data showed U.S. jobless claims rose to a 3-week high. However, price pared its losses and briefly rebounded to 120.39 on release of upbeat U.S. services PMI before retreating again.
Dlr met renewed selling at 120.19 in Aust. and dropped to 119.70 on position adjustment ahead of today's crucial U.S. jobs report.
Mkt focus is now solely on the release of U.S. jobs report at 12:30GMT. Street forecast for the NFP is a slight increase to 220K from 215K and the unemployment rate is expected to fall to 5.2% from 5.3%.

USD/JPY - .......Breaking news fm Reuters:
IMF Japan mission chief says -
- see good chance of cutting Japan's GDP forecast for 2015, 2016 in IMF's next global economic outlook report
- BOJ should focus on inflation expectations in deciding whether to ease monetary policy, rather than underlying weakness in economy
- don't see need for BOJ to ease in October even if it cuts GDP, CPI forecasts, as long as inflation expectations are well anchored
- not clear whether BOJ alone can boost economy; efforts to change Japan's wage dynamics also critical
- benefit of loosening yuan's link to dollar gives Chinese authorities some independence to conduct their own monetary policy
- BOJ has responded appropriately so far to market volatility; for IMF, the best response for policymakers is to let exchange rates move
- exchange rate is not a target and has not been a target for BOJ
- ultimately a much freer determination of exchange rate is what they should do, when asked if China's yuan band has scope to be widened further
AceTraderFx Sept 4: Daily Recommendations on Major -USD/JPY
DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK
Update Time: 04 Sep 2015 08:31 GMT
USD/JPY - 118.99
Despite the greenback's rally to 121.74 last Friday, intra-day sharp retreat suggests the 1st leg of correction from last Monday's low at 116.15 has possibly ended there and consolidation with downside bias would be seen for weakness towards 118.92.
However, steep fall below there is unlikely to be seen today and reckon aforesaid support should remain intact and yield a rebound later.
On the upside, only above resistance at 120.92 would indicate abovementioned pullback has ended and turn outlook bullish for a re-test of 121.74.
