Yen Expecting Small Gains despite Global Economic Weakness
The Yen completed yesterday's trading session with mixed results versus the other major currencies. The JPY was broadly unchanged versus the EUR yesterday and closed its trading session at around the 126.00 level. The JPY also saw bullishness against the USD as it jumped around 100 points and closed at 92.70.
The low Japanese interest rate helped hold the value of the JPY lower than other currencies as traders used the JPY to fund the purchase of higher yielding assets. However, with global interest rates being slashed, the value of these carry trades have declined and traders have been unfolding them in exchange for more safe-haven investments.
Today, the JPY will be absent from the economic calendar, and traders should follow overseas events in order to determine the JPY's direction for today. Special attention should be given to the U.S. Unemployment Claims figure that will be published at 13:30 GMT, and will be today's leading publication that will affect the Yen's crosses.
