USD/JPY should be well supported - Westpac
|According to Robert Rennie, Research Analyst at Westpac, USD/JPY should be well supported on dips given that the Fed will raise rates in Dec and beyond and with the FOMC minutes noting that some participants “judged that it would be necessary to temporarily raise the federal funds rate above their assessments of its longer-run level”, Westpace remain happy with that view.
