FXStreet (Bali) - Greg Gibbs, FX Strategist at RBS, continues to look for a buying opportunity in the USD/JPY.
Key Quotes
"USD/JPY has developed a modest downtrend recently, but a deep fall is not expected. We agree with the BoJ that its existing policy will eventually further ease monetary conditions and ratchet up downward pressure on the JPY."
"As such, we continue to look for a buying opportunity in the USD/JPY. On current projections of Fed members and the market for the first Fed rate hike in mid-2015, in the next few months, we expect this to begin to boost the USD against other major currencies, including the JPY."
