EUR/JPY Fundamental Analysis – November 5, 2015 – Forecast

Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY dipped 7 points to 132.67 as the euro eased after comments from Mario Draghi.  The euro stayed weak versus both the dollar and the yen after falling the previous day as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi reiterated the central bank’s readiness to expand monetary easing in December, dealers said.

Major Japanese automakers shattered their own records for new car sales in October in the United States lifted by low fuel prices and low interest rates while benefiting from an extra selling day in the month, data released by Autodata Corp. showed Tuesday.

“October was a huge month for the industry, smashing expectations and continuing its hot streak,” Toyota group Vice President Bill Fay said in a press release.

Overall sales totaled 1,455,516 cars and light trucks in October, 13.6 percent more than the year before. The total translates to 18.24 million units in seasonally adjusted annualized sales, according to the U.S. research company.

Among Japanese automakers, Toyota Motor Corp. posted a 13 percent increase in the month, selling 204,045 vehicles, making it the third-largest automaker in the country. It was the first year Toyota sold more than 200,000 vehicles in October.

Toyota said both its namesake division and Lexus luxury brand broke October records, boosted by strong sales increases, 18.8 percent and 33.9 percent, respectively, of its sport utility vehicles and light trucks.
