JPY Citi views & strategy Bias/ Forecasts/ Key level

Citi FX outlook
The latest BoJ Tankan report reveals the USDJPY breakeven target for Japanese manufacturers at 107.64 in FY2021 which is a considerable distance from current levels around 111.00 and which means little need for Japanese exporters to sell USD to hedge their export earnings at current levels.


Previously
• USDJPY: 6 – 12 months: 112.0
• USDJPY: Longer term: 112.0


Currently (as of Sep):
• USDJPY: 6 – 12 months: 112.0
• USDJPY: Longer term: 112.0


MT Bias: Moderately bearish JPY vs USD; 
Neutral JPY vs EUR; Short CAD vs JPY

Tactically bearish JPY vs USD,
Commodity FX (AUD, NZD & CAD), 
GBP and Asia EMFX (CNH & SGD)
