Concerns over the GDP and weak yields cause the USD/JPY to drop to 133.00

The USD/JPY retests a session low near 133.00 during Tuesday's opening Tokyo session. The yen pair reflects dropping US Treasury yields and recession worries during a dismal session.

 

Despite the recent improvement, worries about the US and Chinese economies have kept the USD/JPY exchange rate weak for the second straight day. The cautious stance in advance of this week's FOMC meeting minutes adds to the pressure on the dollar-yen exchange rate.

 

Retail Sales in China dipped to 2.7% YoY in July from 3.1% in June and 5.0% expected, while Industrial Production (IP) fell to 3.8% in July from 3.8% in June and 4.0% predicted by the market. Additionally, in an effort to counter bearishness, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) shocked the markets on Monday by reducing the rates on its medium-term lending facility (MLF) by 10 basis points (bps).

 

In contrast, despite market predictions of 8.5, the US NY Empire State Manufacturing Index for August dropped from 11.1 in July to 31.3. The August NAHB homebuilder confidence index in the US fell from 55 to 49, the lowest level since the start of 2020.

 

Recession worries have returned after a brief hiatus during the last week due mostly to worse US inflation data and the dismal figures from the two largest economies in the world.

 

On a different page, reports claiming that the coronavirus situation has improved in Shanghai, China's financial center, and that trading in Russian bonds has resumed on Wall Street failed to whet investors' appetite for risk. The Wall Street Journal's (WSJ) rumors of a potential meeting between US Vice President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping may also encourage investors to take more risks. In a similar vein, Chinese President Xi proposed new efforts to revive the second-largest economy in the world.

 

The Pentagon said on Monday that the US, South Korea, and Japan participated in a missile warning and ballistic missile search and tracking exercise last week off the coast of Hawaii. Between August 22 and September 1, the US and South Korea will collaborate on military drills. The geopolitical worries influence the USD/JPY exchange rate and the market's mood.

 

In this situation, the three-day downtrend in the US 10-year Treasury yields is about 2.775%, and the intraday decline in the S&P 500 Futures is at least 0.13 percent. Moving forward, housing data from the United States, secondary activity, and risk catalysts can amuse intraday traders.

 

The 10-DMA safeguards short-term USD/JPY gains near 133.80 within a three-week-old symmetrical triangle between 132.35 and 134.20.
