JPY Gains against USD Ahead of Crucial U.S. Data Releases
Thursday, 2 Jul 2009
The Yen gained against the Dollar ahead of the release of the U.S Non Farm Employment Change and Unemployment Rate which may show that unemployment in the U.S rose to the highest level in 25 years. To a certain extent, this spurred demand for the safety of the JPY. Traders should be aware that the USD/JPY pair will be the main pair to watch today as data is released from the U.S.
The Japanese currency has been suffering recently due to increased optimism and risk appetite among investors, who traded the relatively safe JPY for higher yielding riskier currencies. Although risk tolerance remains high in the market, worse than expected results from the U.S and Euro-Zone may help extend the JPY's gains throughout the day.
