    Japan’s Corporate Service Price Index (CSPI)

    Today in Japan, the Corporate Service Price Index (CSPI) for May 2018 was released by the Bank of Japan. The market was positioned for a rise of around 1% in the CSPI compared with the same month a year ago.

     

    However, the actual result was around the market forecast as the CSPI index increased 1% in May 2018 (YoY), which was above the last reading of 0.9%. Looking at the Services Producer Price Index (All items <excluding International transportation>), there was an increase of 1.0% from the previous year.

     

    The GBP/JPY pair is currently trading below the 145.80 resistance and it is at a risk of a downside break in the near term.

     

    GBP/JPY Technical Analysis

    The British Pound formed a low at 144.69 and started an upside move against the Japanese Yen. The GBP/JPY pair traded above the 145.00 and 145.20 resistance levels to settle above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

     

    GBP/JPY Technical Analysis British Pound Japanese Yen

     

    The pair also broke the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 146.64 high to 144.69 low. However, the upside move was capped by the 146.00-146.20 resistance zone. Moreover, the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 146.64 high to 144.69 low acted as a resistance.

     

    The pair dropped back and moved below the 145.80 level and the 100 hourly SMA. At the moment, a connecting bullish trend line with support at 145.30 is holding losses. More importantly, there is a major contracting triangle forming with support at 144.90 on the hourly chart of GBP/JPY.

     

    Overall, it seems like the pair may decline below 145.30-20 in the near term and it could even test the triangle support at 144.90 before recovering in the near term.

    The GBP/JPY pair recovered nicely recently above the 146.20 level and it seems like the pair may continue to trade higher.

    Today in Japan, the Gross Domestic Product for Q4 2017 (Prelim) was released by the Cabinet Office. The market was positioned for a rise of 0.2% in the GDP in Q4 2017 compared with the previous quarter.

     

    However, the actual result was below the forecast of 0.2% as there was a rise in the GDP by 0.1% in Q4 2017. This was well below the last reading of 0.6%. In terms of the yearly change, the preliminary reading suggests a rise of 0.5% in the GDP, less than the forecast of 0.9%.

     

    The GBP/JPY pair is currently declining, but there could be a minor upside correction towards the 149.30 and 149.80 resistance levels.

     

    GBP/JPY Technical Analysis

    The British Pound started a fresh downside move from well above the 154.00 level against the Japanese Yen. The GBP/JPY pair declined, broke the 152.00 and 150.00 support levels, and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average.

    The fell below the 149.00 support as well and traded as low as 148.70 recently. It seems like the pair could decline further towards the 1.236 Fib extension of the last wave from the 148.91 low to 150.82 high at 148.46. On the upside, there are two bearish trend lines forming with resistances at 149.30 and 149.80 on the hourly chart.

     

    If the pair corrects higher from the current levels, the 149.30 and 149.80 resistance levels are likely to act as a strong barrier.

     

    Overall, the pair decline below 148.50 and if sellers remains in control, it could even test the 1.618 Fib extension of the last wave from the 148.91 low to 150.82 high at 147.73.

    Japan’s Consumer Confidence

    Today in Japan, the Consumer Confidence for Oct 2017 was released by the Cabinet Office. The market was positioned for a minor rise in the index from the last reading of 43.9 to 44.0.

     

    However, the actual result was above the forecast of 44.0 as there was a rise from 43.9 to 44.5. Looking at the overall livelihood index, there was a rise from 42.5 to 43.0, and the income growth index was up from 41.8 to 42.5. The report added that:

     

    This survey was conducted on October 15th, 2017. It covered 8,400 households (Households of two or more persons are 5,712, One-person households are 2,688). The response rate was 69.7% (Households of two or more persons: 74.7%, One-person households: 59.3%).

     

    Overall, the GBP/JPY pair is likely to move higher as long as there is no break below the 151.00 support.

     

    GBP/JPY Technical Analysis

    The British Pound started a nice upside move from the 149.00-149.20 support area against the Japanese Yen. The GBP/JPY pair surged higher and broke a few key resistance levels such as 150.00, 150.40 and 151.00 and settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

    The pair traded as high as 151.94 from where a minor correction was initiated. It declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 149.19 low to 151.94 high. However, the pair is currently holding a short-term bullish trend line with support at 151.20 on the hourly chart.

     

    The trend line support is important at 151.20. As long as the pair is above 151.20 and 151.00, it would resume its uptrend. A break of the 151.00 support would ignite a downside wave towards the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 149.19 low to 151.94 high near 150.55.

     

    On the upside, the 151.50 level is an initial resistance. Above 151.50, the pair might retest 151.90.

    Today in the UK, the PMI Construction for Sep 2017 was released by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply and Markit Economics. The market was positioned for a minor decline from the last reading of 51.1 to 50.8.

     

    However, the actual result was below the forecast of 50.8, as there was a decline from 51.1 to 48.1. The PMI registered a contraction in Sep 2017 the business activity fell for the first time in 13 months. The report added that:

     

    September data revealed a difficult month for the UK construction sector, as a sustained drop in new work led to the first reduction in overall business activity since August 2016. Survey respondents attributed the drop in workloads to fragile confidence and subdued risk appetite among clients, especially in the commercial building sector.

     

    Overall, the GBP/JPY pair may continue to decline and it could even break the recent low of 149.27 in the near term.
