JPY Slides against EUR and Spikes versus the Dollar

Friday, 22 May 2009

The Japanese Yen completed yesterday's trading session with mixed results versus the major currencies. The JPY fell against the EUR yesterday, pushing the oft-traded currency pair to 131.19. The JPY slipped only marginally yesterday against the GBP to the 149.31 level. The JPY did see some bullishness as well as it gained 35 pips against the USD and closed at 94.17.

The Japanese market should have a heavy effect on the JPY versus its major currency counterparts, as the Overnight Call Rate will be announced today. The rate is expected to remain unchanged, but traders should pay close attention to the BoJ Press Conference that will follow to look for expectations of Japan's economic future. A bullish statement from the BoJ could lead some traders to believe the BoJ is forecasting a rosier financial climate in Japan.
