“However, we remain of the view that USD/JPY remains a buy on dips and target the 117/119 band”.
“Key will be Q1 US GDP plus the FOMC’s tone. If the Fed does formally rule out a move in June, it’s hard to see a lot of upside in USD/JPY”.
“Short term/medium term momentum remains negative in USDJPY as price sets up to test a host of recent lows down to 118.33. Anticipate a further steady decline”.
