Japanese Yen: Broad range holds despite weak momentum against US Dollar – UOB

United Overseas Bank (UOB) strategist Quek Ser Leang observes USD/JPY fluctuated between 156.94 and 158.21, closing at 157.83, with intraday trading expected inside 157.10–158.10. Over 1–3 weeks, he now favours a broad consolidation between 156.35 and 158.70 rather than deeper pullbacks. On a 1–3 month horizon, however, he still flags rapid downside momentum that could drive further weakness toward the January low at 152.08.
