USD/JPY: Technical Analysis
2012-10-10 16:23:03 (читать в оригинале)
Overview:
USD/JPY is going to trade in lower range. The pair is undermined by selling of yen crosses amid higher risk aversion (VIX fear gauge rose 8.34% to 16.37, S&P fell 0.99% overnight) after the International Monetary Fund warned the global economy risks skidding towards recession and lowered its 2012 and 2013 global growth forecasts. Meanwhile, debt problems of Spain and Greece remained unresolved after second day of European Union finance ministers' meeting in Luxembourg. USD/JPY also weighed by Japan exporter sales. But USD/JPY losses tempered by demand from Japan importers.
