Gross Domestic Product q/q (GDP) is a monetary valuation of all goods and services produced in the United States in the given quarter compared with the previous one minus the price of goods and services used in production.

The GDP calculation equation includes consumer spending, government spending, amount of all investments (including capital expenditures for activities) and total net export of the country.

GDP is the indicator of the country's economy and population living standards. A regular inflation adjustment allows for a valid comparison of the current value with the previous one. Thus, the country's GDP can be displayed as a percentage of the previous year or quarter. This is handy for measuring the economic growth rate.

GDP growth can have a positive effect on dollar quotes.

According to the Analysis, pair is expected to find support at 0.6264 and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 0.6245. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 0.6328 and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 0.6347.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research discusses USD/JPY outlook and maintains a structural bearish bias

The bar is high for the BoJ to cut the policy rate and the USD/JPY level is likely to be a key variable. We would sell USD/JPY (and vol) if it rallies on expectations for the BoJ from the current level.

The likelihood of the BoJ's rate cut would increase if USD/JPY sells off to 104-105, accompanying weakness in risk assets. However, we do not think a mere 10bp rate cut would contain the pressure. We expect the market to test the BoJ in such a scenario and volatility will rise," BofAML notes.

"But the combination of fiscal easing, rate cut with supplementary measures, and more purchases of foreign assets by public/semi-public institutions, may prove effective in weakening JPY," BofAML adds.

BOJ Governor Speech is an event having the greatest impact on JPY among all public statements made by the Japanese regulator. The Governor's rhetoric reflects the official position of the Bank of Japan.

If some hints at tightening the monetary policy by the Bank of Japan are detected in the Governor speech, it may affect JPY positively.

According to the Analysis, pair is expected to find support at 107.20 and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 106.99. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 107.86, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 108.07.

CIBC Research discusses the USD outlook and the Fed rate call expectations. CIBC targets the USD index DXY at 98.9 by year-end and at 95.6 by Q2 of 20120.

"We share the view of many FOMC speakers that rate cuts will be a bit shallower than markets anticipate, with the rate cuts in July and September to be followed by one more 25 bp ease in December, and then a pause," CIBC notes.

"While US data has been a mixed bag, the economy has yet to have a quarter of growth below its non-inflationary potential. American consumers are in a healthy position based on an ample savings rate, low monthly financial obligations, and ongoing labor income growth. That underlying resilience, while not preventing a further slowing in growth, should be bullish for the dollar against overseas currencies in the very near-term, given the deeper risks to growth abroad (i.e. China and Europe), as well as uncertainty surrounding Brexit and trade, that will propel safe haven inflows in the greenback.

Over a longer time horizon, an easing in the appetite for such flows should see DXY give back some of its strength. For that, we’ll need some fiscal stimulus in Europe to reduce its dependence on negative yields, and an easing in US-China trade tensions. Any reduction in the attractiveness of US assets as a safe haven serves to weaken the greenback, given America’s persistent current account deficit," CIBC adds.

According to the Analysis, pair is expected to find support at 1.0911 and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1.0898. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1.0955, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1.0968.
