Yen Takes Losses against USD and GBP in Overnight Trading
The return to risk taking did not help the yen yesterday, as it decreased sharply against the UK pound and US dollar. USD/JPY has been slowly moving up from its record lows and is holding steady around the 84.25 level. GBP/JPY has gone up close to 100 pips in trading since yesterday afternoon, and is currently at the 129.70 level.
Today, in addition to the news being released from Canada and the UK, yen traders will want to pay attention to any indication that the Bank of Japan may be moving in to limit further yen growth in the forex marketplace. Recent yen gains have hurt Japan's export based economy, leading to increased speculation that the government will move in to devalue the currency. Should this occur, traders can assume that the JPY will see heavy losses against its main currency rivals.
