chart1，USDJPY技术走势解析

我们认为，日本的货币政策大概率不会因为行长的轮换而出现大的变动，由“安倍经济学”指导的宏观经济调控思路将会延续下去。日本央行不同于美联储。美联储相对于美国白宫具有独立性，美国政府只控制了美联储10%的股权。美联储和白宫更像是一种合作关系：美联储主席由总统提名，但是，货币政策的调整只需要FOMC委员会同意即可，不受制于白宫。日本央行则不然。日本央行的注册资本金是1亿日元，其中5500万日元由日本政府出资，亦即日本政府控股55%，是第一大股东。日本央行更像是日本政府的一个部门：日本政府提出宏观经济调控的大方向之后，交由日本央行具体执行。比如安倍经济学，由前任日本首相安倍晋三提出后，交由前日本央行行长黑田东彦具体执行。


虽然我们认为日本央行行长换届不会导致货币政策变化，但是日本经济数据的变化有可能改变YCC政策。去年12月份，日本CPIThe growth rate is4%，是日本央行此前设定目标2%的两倍，同时已经连续九个月高于目标增速。今年一月份的CPI增速数据尚未公布，但从数据趋势上看，极有可能高于4%。高通胀的出现将会极大地拓展日本央行调整货币政策的空间。一旦日本央行判定“通胀目标已经达成”，放弃YCC政策将会是大概率事件。可预期的临界点是CPI增速连续一年时间超过2%The goal of.

美联储正在逐步退出激励加息政策，叠加日本央行有可能在今年上半年放弃YCC政策。所以，今年上半年USDJPY的下跌机会，值得重点关注。
