Currency investors should consider selling USD/JPY* on further rallies this week, advises Morgan Stanley in its weekly FX pick to clients.
"Japan’s GPIF said there was no need to make any changes to the
portfolio as the fund is achieving its target returns which should allow
USDJPY to remain supported earlier this week. However, our STGRDI has
crossed 2 on Friday suggesting equity markets may soon start loosening
upward momentum.
According to the‘People’s Daily’ China will not reverse its efforts
to implement market-oriented reforms of the yuan and the currency will
remain in a strong position as the country's long-term economic
fundamentals are stable.
USDCNY is now at risk breaking its January 6.5962 high. A break
beyond this level could spark speculation China loosing currency
reserves again not boding well for the global risk outlook and
implicitly for USDJPY," MS says as a rationale behind this call.
