USD/JPY Analysis: Rising U.S. Yields Leave the Yen on the Defensive

As the first week of November progresses, renewed weakness in the Japanese yen is once again becoming evident in the short term.

The DAX remains close to 26,000 points after extending its recovery, but the market's attention is shifting away from geopolitics and back toward earnings, economic data and US politics. Reports from Bayer, Lufthansa and Fresenius Medical Care highlight a market increasingly rewarding profit growth while punishing weak guidance. With US midterm elections, JOLTS job openings and AMD earnings on today's agenda, the next move in equities may depend less on technicals and more on whether earnings and economic data justify current valuations.
