Currency News, Research and Forecasts for Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen
Whenever you are interested in an exchange rate you are actually interested in two currencies due to the fact that the value of a currency must always be quoted in comparison to a second currency.
So it follows that if you are determining the best time to transact, in this case the AUD vs JPY, you should pay attention to both Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen news and forecasts.
Australian Dollar (AUD) - Market news and forecasts
Sentiment on the Australian dollar took a turn for the worse mid-year after the US announced it would impose massive tariffs on imported goods, as an emerging market crisis gripped the markets, and as the RBA remained dovish on monetary policy.
A global trade war, analysts said, might lead to significant depreciations in commodities prices, and investors tend to express their views on EM risk via the highly liquid Australian dollar. The RBA said mid-year that there was still “no strong case for a near-term adjustment in monetary policy.”
By August 14th, the Aussie had slumped to an 18-month low versus the US dollar of 72.4 cents, down 11 percent on January’s high.
The Aussie was also struggling elsewhere, including against the Japanese yen, against which it weakened to 80 for the first time since late 2016.
While the Aussie spent the period between mid-April and mid-August strengthening against the New Zealand dollar, a longer-term, bigger-picture view shows this cross rate drifting sideways for much of the past 4 ½ years. On August 14th, the Aussie fetched 1.1 NZD.
Japanese Yen (JPY) - Market news and forecasts
Approaching the middle of August, the yen is the best performing currency of the year. Although it holds only a modest 1.7 percent gain over the US dollar (110.81) year-to-date, it's up handsomely elsewhere. Versus the Australian dollar (80.92), euro (126.43) and pound (141.60), the yen has gained an average of 8 percent.
The yen has been widely sought by investors in recent months due to its safe haven status. Investors have become more risk averse following chaos in emerging markets, led by Turkey and Argentina, and Washington’s massive tariffs on imported goods, which threaten global trade. The yen has also benefitted from speculation that the Bank of Japan will soon make changes to its ultra-loose monetary policy. Although low by international standards, yields on Japanese government bonds have risen to long-term highs and are now double 2017 averages.
In August, SEB was forecasting end-of-September rates of: EUR/JPY, 122; USD/JPY, 111; AUD/JPY, 82.
