AUD

AUD/JPY prints at ¥94.80/90, the pair firmed ~0.4% as the AUD outperformed in the G-10 space in lieu of yesterday's Australian Labour Market Report.

  • Resistance was seen above the 20-Day EMA and ¥95 handle, bulls have struggled to sustain a break of the 20-Day EMA in recent dealing and it has emerged as a key level.
  • The measure comes in at ¥94.94, a break through here opens yesterday's high (¥95.42) and the high from 5 July (¥96.83).
  • Bears look to break the ¥94 handle, from here they look to target the low from 12 July (¥93.27) and the 200-Day EMA (¥92.16).
  • On the wires in just over 30 minutes we have June National CPI from Japan, the headline figure is expected to hold steady at 3.2% Y/Y and the core figure is forecast to tick higher to 3.3% Y/Y from 3.2%.
