The Japanese Yen experienced a depreciation after the release of the Manufacturing PMI data, with the headline Jibun Bank Japan Manufacturing PMI dropping to 49.2 in October from 49.7 in September. This decline reflects a continued decrease in Japanese manufacturing production, as both output and new order inflows decreased at more pronounced rates. Despite this, the USD/JPY pair faced challenges as the JPY strengthened following comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, increasing the likelihood of a rate hike in December.

Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi expressed optimism that the Bank of Japan would work closely with the government to implement appropriate monetary policies to achieve its price target sustainably and stably. Traders are now awaiting the release of the US Nonfarm Payrolls report, with expectations of an increase of 113,000 jobs in October and a steady Unemployment Rate of 4.1%. The market sentiment remains cautious in the lead up to the upcoming US presidential election, impacting the USD/JPY pair and contributing to the Japanese Yen’s depreciation despite increased odds of a BoJ rate hike.

The Bank of Japan decided to maintain its short-term interest rate target at 0.25% following a two-day monetary policy review, aligning with market expectations for stability. The BoJ plans to continue raising policy rates as long as the economy and prices align with forecasts, with a focus on sustainably and stably achieving its 2% inflation target. On the other hand, the US economy saw positive developments, with the Gross Domestic Product annualized expanding by 2.8% in Q3, and the ADP Employment Change report showing a significant increase in new workers added in October.

The technical analysis for the USD/JPY pair suggests a potential softening of the bullish bias, as the pair broke below its ascending channel. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index remains above 50, indicating ongoing bullish momentum. Resistance levels for the pair are at 152.50 and potentially 158.30 if it re-enters the ascending channel, while support can be found at 151.50 and 150.00 levels. The USD/JPY pair continues to be influenced by market sentiment and economic data releases.

The table displaying the percentage change of the Japanese Yen against major currencies on that day shows that the JPY was the weakest against the British Pound. The currency’s value is determined by various factors, including the performance of the Japanese economy, Bank of Japan policy decisions, yield differentials between Japanese and US bonds, and risk sentiment among traders. The Japanese Yen is often seen as a safe-haven investment during times of market stress, as investors seek stability and reliability in the currency.

In conclusion, the Japanese Yen’s depreciation following the Manufacturing PMI release and the Bank of Japan’s rate hike possibilities have influenced the currency markets. The USD/JPY pair faces uncertainties amidst cautious market sentiment, while the US economy shows signs of strength. The Bank of Japan’s commitment to achieving its inflation target and the impact of global economic developments will continue to affect the Japanese Yen’s value in the coming days.
