JPMorgan Chase: If USD/JPY falls below 155, over $100 billion in short positions could be unwound, leading to a larger-than-expected appreciation of the Japanese Yen.
JPMorgan strategists warn that if USD/JPY falls below the 155 mark, the current market's approximately $102.6 billion in JPY short positions face a risk of concentrated unwinding, potentially triggering a chain reaction of selling that could push the yen to appreciate more than market expectations, theoretically driving USD/JPY down to the 142-146 range. However, the bank also noted that current market expectations for the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) might be excessive, and it does not anticipate a significant break below the 155-165 range for USD/JPY in the near term.
