AUD/JPY managed to reclaim the 93.00 level and looks on course to post an on-the-day gain of about 0.4%, though has pared back on a substantial portion of these gains, having been as high as the 93.60s earlier in the day. The bulls will be hoping for a stabilisation in sentiment in global equity and commodity space in the coming days, as that might be enough to propel AUD/JPY beyond recent highs in the 94.00 area.
That’s assuming that global yields continue to trade with an upside bias, which could very well be the case if US inflation data this week jumps as expected, thus solidifying/encouraging further global central bank tightening bets. Traders will also be watching Wednesday’s release of Australian labour market figures, which could help impact
tightening expectations. Currently, the bank is seen lifting rates for the first time in the post-pandemic era in June.
