Societe Generale Favors Short USD/JPY on Dovish Fed Risk

Societe Generale strategist Kit Juckes has expressed a preference for short USD/JPY positions, citing the potential for a dovish turn from the Federal Reserve.

Juckes noted that recent G10 central bank actions, including the Bank of Japan's rate hike, have not triggered dramatic foreign exchange shifts. Against this backdrop, he argues that a dovish Fed decision would be a key catalyst for yen strength.

The comments reinforce a growing consensus that the yen may gain ground if the Fed signals a softer policy stance.
