On November 6, the US mid-term elections, the so-called Congress, will hold a general election. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party spare no effort to win over the voters for the control of the House and Senate.
US President Donald Trump continued to fight his "immigration card" and said that he would send more troops to the US-Mexico border to prevent immigration. The election will determine who will gain control of the Congress and influence the future policy direction.
Regarding the mid-term elections: Credit Agricole's research team discussed the USD/JPY outlook and said that if the Republican Party can hold the House and Senate, the USD/JPY will have plenty of upside.
Next week's Fed's November interest rate decision and mid-term election results are a big risk for the yen long. In fact, if the market generally expects the Democrats to win the Congress, the spread between the dollar and the yen will boost. In the case of the yen long, in addition to the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar, the yen will perform better than other currencies.
Of course, if the Republican Party accidentally wins the House and Senate again, the US interest rate will be pushed up to a higher level. Except for the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar, the yen may perform poorly. In this case, it will look for a bullish dollar. The opportunity for the yen.
