USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 86.25; (P) 86.56; (R1) 86.81; More.

USD/JPY's break of 85.98 indicates that recent fall has resumed and put intraday bias back to the downside. As discussed before, current decline from 94.97 is expected to extend further to retest 84.81 low next. On the upside, above 86.87 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral again. But after all, break of 88.11 resistance is still needed to indicate bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish.

RBA Left OCR Unchanged At 4.5%, Taking A Wait-And-See Stance

The RBA left the OCR unchanged at 4.5% for the 3rd consecutive month. Few surprises were seen in the accompanying statement. The overall tone was similar to that of July while the economic outlook was also unchanged. Policymakers acknowledged that global economic expansion, while faster than trend, has been uneven. There are signs that Chinese growth is 'moderating to a more sustainable rate as policies are now less accommodating'. Moreover, positive stress test results also diminished concerns over European banking systems and 'the caution evident in financial markets in the past few months has abated of late'. In July, the central bank explicitly mentioned that 'caution in financial markets has been evident in the past couple of months, driven principally by concerns about European sovereigns and banks but also by some uncertainty about the pace of future global growth'.
