Yen Declines as the Japanese Economy Plummets

Japan sank deeper into recession in the 1st quarter since Toyota, Honda and Nissan, Japan's three biggest automakers, slashed production last month. Japanese automakers have pared production as the global recession and rising unemployment sap demand for vehicles worldwide. Having reduced inventory, and with governments taking steps to revive demand, some carmakers, including Toyota and Nissan, are now planning to ease cuts.

As a result of negative economic news that came out of Japan yesterday, the JPY finished yesterday's trading session lower against several of its major currency pairs. This was seen against the EUR, pushing the EUR/JPY pair to 128.55. Also, the Yen fell against the GBP, as the pair closed at 0.8960.
Looking to today, the Yen may continue its downward slide against its major currency pairs as Japanese investors seek short-term profits from the Japanese stock market.
