USD/JPY down in Kampo Land again

The BOJ has not been intervening of late, but its proxy, Kampo, which handles overseas investment for the postal savings system, has been said to have been a buyer in the 76.50 area for the last few weeks. We tested that level a short while ago as “risk-off” come back into the market. JPY is strong against most of the crosses this morning.

Expect stops in the 76.40/45 area. A break opens the way to the 75.55 level. off which the BOJ intervened back in October.
