USD/JPY intervention unlikely below 160 despite growing risk
Nov 6 (Reuters) -USD/JPY sharply higher as markets price in a Republican sweep, taking out the cluster of recent highs around 153.90-154. In turn, risks lean in favour of a break above 155, paving the way for a retest of 160.
Given the latest moves in the yen, building on what has already been a sizeable move lower in the currency prior to the U.S. election, does raise the possibility that Japanese authorities may take action to temper the falls.
As previously highlighted however, with USD/JPY below 160, it is unlikely that officials will intervene. Recall that during this cycle, intervention has occurred at a higher level than the last.
What's more, such action would likely need to be coordinated with a hawkish surprise from the Bank of Japan, as was the case in July, where policymakers surprised with a rate hike.
While Governor, Kazuo Ueda, has opened the door to a year-end rate rise, market pricing points to a one-in-three chance. That said, should the yen weaken further from here, it is clear that judging by the Governor's rhetoric at the October decision, there would be a growing case to back a December rate hike.
