TD analysts on the yen, some broief snippets from a longer piece.

First, on monetary policy divergence between the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan:

  • With the Fed ceding leadership on policy to the ECB and the BoJ, JPY trading bias remains asymmetric and with considerable room for gains.

Targeting:

  • We expect USD/JPY to register a 120-125 handle this quarter
  • We think rallies to 133/134 in will make for an attractive short

Meanwhile, on EUR/yen:.”

  • We are biased to appreciable strategic EUR/JPY downside towards 130 in the coming months
