EUR/JPY Fundamental Analysis December 25, 2012, Forecast

Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY rose in the Asian session as the JPY continued to weaken on stimulus and financial plans of new Prime Minister Abe. The euro also is weak this morning as traders returned to risk aversion moving back to the USD as talks between President Obama and House leaders have completely broken down as Speak Boehner dismissed congress for the holiday week, which means that there will be little chance to vote on a new agreement before the new year.

Prime Minister Abe drew a line in the sand saying that if the Bank of Japan will not accept the 2% inflation rate at its next meeting that he would seek to change laws to retain control of the Bank of Japan, taking away the bank’s independence. Around the world central banks function independently of political pressures and interference. This new mode for the Japanese has traders worried.
