JPY Daily News

Yen Goes Mixed against the Majors

Tuesday, 20 Oct 2009

The Yen recorded some mixed results vs. its major currency pairs. The Japanese Yen rose by nearly 20 pips to the 90.69 level against the USD. Versus the GBP, the Yen lost 15 pips, as the pair failed to find a clear direction in Monday's trading. With regards to the EUR/JPY cross, the Yen lost nearly 60 pips, as the pair approaches the 135.80 level. The JPY seems to be losing out, due to being on the backburner of global economic news. Moreover, Japan's new government has been unclear on which direction it wants to take the Yen.

The Yen will be one of the key currencies to watch today. This is as mid-week trading approaches, and global investors seek to find more clues about the future direction of Japanese monetary policy. The Japanese Central Bank has yet to announce a full cut back in assisting industry. This decision is likely to be prolonged, as long as the economic situation continues to be unstable. This is likely to continue to destabilize the Japanese currency for the weeks to come.
