USD/JPY has been in a downtrend since early March reflecting Yen’s safe haven credentials. Rabobank’s central view is that USD/JPY is likely to hold around current levels on a one-to-three month view.
“Although risk appetite has improved this week, the global economy has to become accustomed to operating in a higher interest rate environment. That suggests that the stresses of the past few weeks are unlikely to be the last.”
“We maintain a three-month USD/JPY 131.00 forecast.”
