Analysis and Recommendation:
The USD/JPY saw the Yen climb to new recent highs, trading against the USD at 78.87 after the BoJ held rates yesterday. Risk Aversion remains the theme, but the greenback continues to weaken on lackluster eco data, as investors foresee a slowdown of the US economy. Investors believe that we will see some intervention by the BoJ immediately preceding the elections to help support the weakened dollar against the JPY
Central banks of the G20 nations announced yesterday a plan to work in unison, if necessary to support the global banking system in case of a breakdown, after elections this coming week and worries about Spain.
Angela Merkel said on Thursday in an address to parliament before leaving for the weekend gathering that Europe’s debt woes “will overshadow all other topics” and all eyes would be on Germany as Europe’s biggest economy.
She maintained that she would defend Germany’s view that a mix of fiscal tightening and reforms was the only way to overcome the crisis and to return to sustainable growth.
She said: “We must all resist the temptation to finance growth again through new debt.”
Meanwhile, G20 officials have reportedly confirmed central banks will pump funds into financial markets if the crucial Greek election on Sunday results in a credit squeeze, according to Reuters.
