BRLJPY Long BRL and JPY seen as debt ceiling event risk hedgeThe international capital movements continue to be driven by carry trade opportunities.
For hedging the debt ceiling event risk, traders like BRL, CNH, and JPY, where the first two provide the right beta to equities. While BRL provides a carry cushion, it is a bit more overvalued in some of our short-term models than CNH. The upside for CNH is likely viewed as reserve diversification hedge to the USD, especially if policymakers take the negotiations down to the wire.”
The Brazilian Real declined substantially after the minutes of the last meeting of the Brazilian central bank (Banco Central do Brasil, BCB) on Tuesday took a surprisingly more dovish tone than the original statement after the meeting had suggested.

BRLJPY ready to move higherHere we can see the end of a 5 wave pattern to the downside and the AB leg of the ABC correction complete.
So what does this mean?
Well we have still yet to put C in place, so simply we are targeting 35.75 for this corrective process. It's worth engaging in further topside exposure, especially if you are a believer of the bearish Yen story.
Best of luck those who like to play EM, we are in for large moves this year on the EM FX board.

YEN versus Emerging Markets Currencies since May 2016The Safe Haven Currency may be at the end of its 11 month appreciation against TRY and MXN.
