"What is currently happening is a real drama," he added.

On the other hand, exports in the food and furniture industries are expected to remain constant, it added.

USD/JPY - 113.91.. Reuters just reported the Bank of Japan is set to maintain its massive stimulus programme on Thursday and slash this year's inflation forecast in a sign it has no intention to follow other central banks eyeing exits from crisis-mode policies.
While rising raw material prices have pushed Japan's wholesale inflation to a 13-year high, consumer inflation is stuck around zero as weak domestic spending prevents firms from passing on higher costs to households.
Anaemic inflation and Japan's still-fragile recovery will give the BOJ enough reason to maintain its target for short-term interest rates at -0.1% and that for 10-year bond yields around 0% at its two-day policy meeting ending on Thursday.
In fresh quarterly projections, the BOJ is seen cutting this year's growth and inflation estimates, but sticking to its forecast of a moderate recovery, sources have told Reuters.

EUR/GBP - 0.8435.. Reuters reported overnight British Brexit minister David Frost said on Monday that the European Union's proposals to solve the problem of trade involving Northern Ireland did not go far enough and significant gaps remained between the two sides.
The two sides are in negotiations to find a common solution to issues with the part of a Brexit deal that governs trade between Britain, British province Northern Ireland, and EU member Ireland.
Earlier this month, the European Union presented proposals to fix those issues.
"The problem with them is that they don't go far enough. I'm not sure they would quite deliver the kind of ambitious, free ... trade between Britain and Northern Ireland we would want to see," Frost told a parliamentary committee.
"It (the discussion between the two sides) has been quite constructive so far but the gaps between us remain significant," he said.

GBP/USD - 1.3746... Reuters news, BoE's Tenreyo says :
- since Aug we have had large upside news for near-term inflation from energy prices, an effect which should fade quickly
- some inflation drivers short-lived, monetary policy can do little to affect them
- effects of supply chain disruption should also be temporary but speed of rotation back to normal is key uncertainty
- balance of recent news on economy is unlikely to have a large effect on the amount of tightening required over the next few years
- domestic cost pressures will depend on the evolution of the labor market now that the furlough scheme has ended

EUR/USD - 1.1621... Reuters earlier reported German economic growth is likely to slow sharply in the fourth quarter of the year as industry continues to suffer from supply shortages and demand for services wanes, the Bundesbank said in a regular monthly report on Monday.
Europe's biggest economy boomed over the summer but unexpected supply-chain bottlenecks are now holding back its vast car manufacturing sector, while higher energy costs and persistent concerns over the coronavirus pandemic could hit consumer sentiment, economists have said.
"Growth is likely to slow significantly in the current quarter," the Bundesbank said, adding that full-year growth is now likely to be "significantly" below its 3.7% prediction made in June.

GBP/USD - 1.3758... The British pound found renewed buying at 1.3750 in New Zealand and gained in tandem with euro to session highs at 1.3791. However, lack of follow-through buying triggered profit-taking and the pair fell sharply to 1.3743 in European morning on broad-based rebound in usd before stabilising.
Cable's intra-day sharp retreat from 1.3791 suggests further choppy trading below last Tuesday's 1-month peak at 1.3834 would continue with downside bias, however, bids at 1.3710/20 should contain current fall and yield a much-needed rebound later.

Despite Fri's intra-day brief fall in NY morning from 1.1655 to 1.1623 following Fed Powell's bond taper comments, as the single currency has shrugged off this mildly hawkish remark n penetrated 1.1655, suggesting re-test of last Tue's near 3-week high at 1.1669 would be seen.
Therefore, buying euro on dips for resumption of corrective upmove fm Oct's fresh 14-month trough at 1.1525 is favoured, reckon res at 1.1703 may cap upside. Order board is pretty thin on Mon with some bids touted at 1.1640-30 with stops below 1.1615 whilst offers are tipped at 1.1665/70 with stops abv there.
