President Kazuo UedaAt 3:30 p.m. on October 31st, the President will hold a press conference after the conclusion of the monetary policy meeting.
In October, the view that former President Trump is leading in the U.S. presidential election led to a rise in long-term U.S. interest rates, among other things.Strong dollar and weak yen continued. Furthermore, in Japan, the ruling parties, Liberal Democratic and Komeito parties, fell below the majority in the House of Representatives election, leading to an increase in selling yen and buying dollar due to the political uncertainty. Attention is focused on what Governor Ueda will determine about such unstable movements in the financial markets.

If economic and price forecasts are realized, mitigation adjustments will not change, basic stance - Bank of Japan Governor Ueda
In English news, it was reported in a graph that “yen rises - Governor Ueda suggests additional interest rate hikes,” and it is reported in a graph that the appreciation of the yen progressed during the review during the closing session of the Diet by Governor Ueda.
Actually, the Constitutional Democratic Party insistently raised interest rates, and the appreciation of the yen only progressed during the time they were saying interest rate hikes, and the appreciation of the yen during this time period, including the House of Councilors at the back place, returned the appreciation of the yen during the rest of the time.
The media and constitutional democracy are scary.

There was no particular excitement, right?
Personally, it's good in the afternoon too.
Because Jackson Hole is the main focus.
One point of interest from a technical perspective.
If it breaks above the recent high of 146.526 yen without falling below the recent low of 144.458 yen, a trend reversal in the Dow Theory would be confirmed, so attention should be paid to the short-term trend of a weakening yen and a strengthening dollar.
Due to the excessive inflation of market rate cut expectations influenced by recent economic indicators, if there is any disappointment in rate cuts, there is a possibility of an excessive reaction of dollar buying, so it is important to be prepared.
If it falls below the recent low, follow the trend straightforwardly.

Is it a story?

Regarding the annual revision of the US employment statistics starting from 23:00.
It's too niche, I honestly don't know about this kind of stuff.
The only thing I can say is that it has been well factored in over the past 2-3 days, and selling two yen worth of dollars has already been completed.
In other words, if there is not as much revision as anticipated beforehand, what will happen is the buyback of the dollar.
Rather, considering this risk, it is desirable to prepare for a long position on the dollar.
This is an OCO for times like this! 👊
