Why is the dollar against the yen down today?
The dollar against the yen is down 0.6% today, at 157.44.
Nothing in today’s news bears on it directly.
Which way it leans, and how far it could go
No clear trend: above its 50-day average but down 0.5% in a month.
A typical day: ±0.4% (±0.6069)
We keep score: every day each lean is checked a day later, and how often they were right will show here once 20 have been checked.
| Over the | Likely range | Wider range |
|---|---|---|
| Next hour | 157.32 – 157.57 ±0.1% | 157.20 – 157.69 |
| Next day | 156.84 – 158.05 ±0.4% | 156.26 – 158.64 |
| Next week | 156.09 – 158.81 ±0.9% | 154.81 – 160.13 |
| Next month | 154.69 – 160.25 ±1.8% | 152.09 – 162.99 |
Where it should end the period two times in three (likely) and nineteen times in twenty (wider), if the coming days swing as much as the recent ones: a volatility forecast from its past year, weighted to the last weeks. Our lean puts together how today’s news bears on it and its trend; it can be wrong, and markets can move more. Not investment advice.
