USD/JPY: Upside (Sep 02 , 2013)

This image is no longer relevant

Overview:
USD/JPY is tradig with bullish bias. Financial markets in U.S. are shut for holiday. USD/JPY is underpinned by yen-funded carry trades and reduced safe-haven appeal of yen as risk aversion diminishes after President Obama announced he would seek Congressional authorization for any strike against Syria, calming concerns over imminent military action; while China's official manufacturing PMI rose better than expected to 51.0 in August from 50.3 in Jul (versus 50.6 forecast). USD/JPY also supported by demand from Japan importers and investment trusts. But USD/JPY gains are tempered by Japan exporter sales; lingering worries over emerging markets amid expectations that Federal Reserve could start tapering its bond-purchase program this month. Daily chart is positive-biased as MACD and stochastics are in bullish mode.
