USD/JPY Takes Biggest Plunge in Three Years After Nikkei Bubble Bursts
Yen To Extend Gains As US Data Underpins QE3 Reduction Bets
After touching its highest level in four and a half years, the USDJPY staged a massive overnight reversal, falling from a high of ¥103.73 on Wednesday to as low as 100.82 in early European trading hours today. In a sell-off that is being credited to the weak Chinese private sector manufacturing report, the Nikkei 225 plunged -7.32%, the single largest drop since October 2008 – the beginning of the end for global equities. However, Japanese Economic Minister Akira Amari said that is normal for equity losses to boost the domestic currency, and that the stock bubble hadn’t yet popped (I think a decline of this magnitude in one session is a mini-bubble bursting); thus Yen losses should be insulated.
Despite the single greatest drop in three years for the USDJPY, the US Dollar overall remains resilient, with the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index (Ticker: USDOLLAR) retaining some of yesterday’s gains, while holding its ground against the commodity currencies. A lot has been said about the scope of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s comments yesterday – that QE3 would remain in place until data improved, and if it did, then the scale of asset purchase could decline – but to me, it’s more of the same.
