Forex Fundamental Analysis – Negative macroeconomic statistics from Japan

USDJPY – Down

USDJPY trading plan:

Japan’s manufacturing activity shrank at the fastest pace in more than two years in December on soft demand and persistent cost pressures, a corporate fresh survey showed. While service-sector output rebounded on a tourism reopening, weak factory activity has blurred Japan’s recovery prospects as companies enter labour talks, in which wage hikes are deemed essential for post-pandemic economic growth. The au Jibun Bank Flash Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers‘ Index was down to a seasonally adjusted 48.8 in December from a final reading of 49.0 in the previous month. Manufacturing firms continued to struggle in the face of subdued demand conditions and severe inflationary pressures.

Investment idea: buy 136.75 and take profit 137.41.
