Looking at the correlations among EUR/USD, USD/JPY and EUR/JPY, we find that in recent months, the yen pairs have been the most correlated suggesting that the yen is indeed the currency to focus on rather than the dollar or euro. Focusing on the yen against both the dollar and the euro also allows one not to become too dependent on to Fed hike expectations. That leaves Japanese factors to spur yen weakness. On that front the picture is promising. The Bank of Japan is likely to engage in further easing, whether a cut deeper into negative territory, the introduction of negative rates to its loan support programmes or an extension of easing guidance or some combination of this. This could happen at the 21 September meeting or the October/November meeting.
