Forex: Yen Crosses Break
Short-Term Congestion,
USD Climb At Risk
US Dollar Clings To Support
But Downside Risks Remain
Dollar Looks for Fed Outlook Cues in
Consumer Confidence Data
Looking ahead, a quiet economic calendar in
European trading hours is likely to see traders looking
ahead to May’s US Consumer Confidence data as the
next key inflection point. Economists’ forecasts
suggest the index will rise for a second consecutive
month to reach the highest level in six months.
An increasingly firm link between the US Dollar and
the 10-year US Treasury bond yield suggests the
outlook for Fed policy is in focus. With that in mind, a
supportive outcome may drive bets on a reduction in
the size of monthly QE purchases and boost the
greenback. US news-flow has tended to underperform
relative to expectations since late March and technical
positioning is worrisome, leaving the door open to the
downside scenario.
The Japanese Yen declined in overnight trade, trading
down as much as 0.8 percent on average against its
leading counterparts. A singular catalyst for the selloff
did not present itself, suggesting it likely amounted to
a correction in the wake of three days of consecutive
Yen gains that brought to the currency to the highest
level in a month.
