USD/JPY double-whammy from US jobs, Fed, election?
Nov 1 (Reuters) -The Bank of Japan'sunexpectedly hawkish stance Thursdaytook many by surprise and de-railed bearish yentrades. More yen strength could be in the offing over the coming week due to risks relatedto U.S. jobs data, elections Tuesday and the Federal Open Market Committee policy announcement Thursday.
U.S. October non-farm payrolls and unemployment, due later Friday, are expected to rise 113,000 and remain at 4.1%, respectively. Average earnings are expectedto rise 4.0% year-on-year, the same as in September. Recent hurricanes and damage in the U.S. southeast areseen crimping jobs growth.
Weaker-than-expected results could impinge on what the Fed does on Thursday. Current expectations are for two 25-basis-point rate cuts this year with one next week and another in December.
A weak U.S. jobs report and dovish Fed alone would provide good reasons for more USD/JPY downside as U.S. interest rates retreatfrom their current lofty perches. Taken together with a possible Kamala Harris electionvictory, USD/JPY has the potential to plunge more.
Already down from a 153.87-88 double-topOct 28-29 to around 152.00, USD/JPY could fall further on a Harris win and reversals of the Trump trade which has taken U.S. yields considerably higher from their late September lows.
The U.S. 2-year Treasuryyield rose from 3.506% on Sept 25 to 4.218% Oct 31. The move up was in stages with the yield holding around 4.0% in most of October before the last leg up.
USD/JPY rose from 139.58 on Sept 16 to 153.88. The 38.2% Fibonacciretracement of this move is at 148.41, 50% 146.75 and 61.8% at 145.04.
