Yen Tumbles Against USD Following US Jobs Report
Friday, 6 Jan 2012
The Japanese yen saw a very mixed trading session on Thursday. Against the euro, the JPY hit an 11-year high, largely due to the on-going string of negative news regarding the euro-zone debt crisis. At the same time, positive US jobs data sent the USD/JPY soaring above the 77.00 level.
Today, the Non-Farm Payrolls figure is likely to cause heavy volatility among yen pairs. A positive figure may cause the JPY to slip against some of the riskier currencies like the aussie or British pound. Should today's news come in below expectations, traders can expect the safe-haven yen to receive a healthy boost against all of its main currency rivals.
