Yen Hits 3-Week Low vs. EUR

Tuesday, 5 May 2009

The Yen has reached a 3-week low against the EUR amid speculation the global recession is easing. The upcoming release of U.S. stress tests is also a negative for the Yen. This has traders dumping the Japanese Yen in favor of riskier, higher yielding currencies. Against the Dollar, the Yen has reversed a bit from its bullish run of the past week. Yesterday the USD/JPY finished the day at 98.80 from 99.45.

Trading during the Japanese session could have higher volatility due to the holiday which concludes Thursday. This time period could have prices pushed further than expected, and the Yen driven by events occurring outside the Japanese economy. Two key events that traders will need to be mindful of for the Yen will be release of U.S. bank stress test results on Thursday and U.S. Non-Payrolls on Friday.
