Japanese Yen / Chinese Yuan Technical Analysis

The yen depreciated vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar today as the greenback tested offers around the ¥91.80 level and was supported around the ¥91.50 level. Bank of Japan gave the government permission to refinance for a second time some ¥2 trillion of the ¥7.7 trillion in bonds that the government rolled over into treasury bills this year.

Data released in Japan yesterday saw November industrial output up 2.6% m/m while November overall retail sales were off 1.0% y/y. Japan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, and other Asian countries agreed on a new US$ 120 billion measure yesterday to address balance of payments and short-term liquidity difficulties in the region.

Last week, finance minister Fujii reported Japan has “depleted most” of its special account funds and added it is difficult to compile a budget for fiscal year 2010. Fujii added monetary policy has been helpful in boosting the economy and that capital spending remains the worst part of the economy.

Japanese government bonds sales are expected to reach a record ¥144.3 trillion. Minutes from Bank of Japan’s latest Policy Board meeting were released last week in which the government asked the central bank to monitor deflation. The minutes revealed “many” Policy Board members agreed “the bank would maintain its stance of responding promptly to changes in the market situation.”

Policymakers said the central bank “would adopt the most effective method for money-market operations that conformed to changes in financial markets.” After an emergency meeting on 1 December, the central bank introduced a ¥10 trillion fixed-rate lending facility that was designed to arrest the yen’s advances and counter deflation. The central bank also characterized the most recent bout of deflation as “mild.”

The Nikkei 225 stock index lost 0.04% to close at ¥10,638.06. U.S. dollar offers are cited around the ¥94.75 level. The euro moved higher vis-à-vis the yen as the single currency tested offers around the ¥132.60 level and was supported around the ¥131.65 level.

• Invest about $200 on a currency in the Forex market that is not doing too well at all. From the news, you find out that there is a possibility that this currency could move up. Punt your money here - You never know. Something miraculous could work in the coming fortnight, and you could be sitting on a stockpile of gold.

• Assume your locality is far away from the airport and residents often have to pay up a fortune in hiring a taxi. Start your private car service, especially if your office is near to the airport. You could charge them 50% of what taxis charge, and yet make a lot of money.
