The Japanese Yen is continuing to sell off this week after the big gains it made last week following two suspected interventions in its favor by the Bank of Japan. Professional investors remain mostly convinced that the Bank of Japan’s intervention will fail and are betting that the USD/JPY currency pair will reach ¥160.

It may be wise to look for long trades in Yen crosses especially in NZD/JPY and CHF/JPY.
The US Dollar is struggling to continue its recent gains, as the Index is bumping up against strong resistance at 105.21. In the Forex market, since today’s Tokyo open, the strongest major currency has been the New Zealand Dollar, and the weakest major currency has been the Japanese Yen.
Global stock markets are mostly a bit higher over recent hours, although the overall picture is mixed. Most markets are in long-term bull market trends.
