| 03:25 EDT | | | FX Action: USD-JPY drifted lower
FX Action: USD-JPY drifted lower on Tokyo name selling to trade into 94.70. The move was pinned on profit taking as Asian based accounts headed home for the weekend. The USD-JPY upside was limited over 95.50 overnight by corporate offers and short term accounts playing the range. After the recent volatility there is no appetite to run positions for too long. Early European accounts have expressed mixed views over PM Abe's growth plan. The fact that is passed through the Diet was not surprising, but Abe did not provide any fresh details to flesh out the initial announcement last week, which gives credence to reports that reforms are more likely to be watered down over the longer term. Abe promised more measures in July after the Upper House election. However, market participants are starting to think he may be struggling to put in place the 'third arrow' of his big revival plans. Ongoing doubts also remain over BoJ and the inintended market volatility that has followed. |
