JPY Mid-day Analysis

The Yen extended the October downdraft overnight and in the process that puts the Yen down to the lowestlevel since 2008. Next downside targeting is seen down at 90.55 off the monthly chart and we can’t rule out aneventual return to 86.00. While there are many who doubt the Japanese economy can ever recover, seeing morestable Chinese activity and significantly lower energy prices will eventually mend the Japanese economy. For nowthe cure for the deflationary mired Japanese economy is an even lower Yen.
