Yen Rises on Asian Equity Rally
The JPY started yesterday's trading with bullish trends against all the major currencies. The Yen continued to rise against the Dollar, yet later on lost gains against the EUR and the Pound. The Yen soared against the major pairs as a rally in Asian stocks spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. The Bank of Japan stated yesterday that Japan's economic conditions have stopped worsening, and are likely to turn upward over time. This created positive sentiment which was reflected in Asian stock markets, and was followed by a strengthening Yen.
Yesterday, the Tertiary Industry Activity report showed that the total value of services purchased by business rose by 0.1% in June. This is another indication that Japanese consumers feel safer to enlarge their expenses, which means that the general sentiment is that the economy is doing better. Looking ahead to today, no significant data is expected from the Japanese economy. Traders should mainly focus on the major data releases from the U.S economy, as this is likely set the tone for today's trading.
