AUD/JPY: Firms Through 20- and 200-Day EMAs On Monday

AUD

AUD/JPY rose ~1.1% on Monday; firmer risk appetite, commodity prices and US Treasury Yields saw the pair rise above the ¥91 handle.

  • The ¥90 handle provided support late last week before yesterday's impressive rally. We now sit above the 20- and 200-Day EMAs, however for the most part AUD/JPY has observed a ¥88/92 range in 2023 with the pair unable to sustain breaks of either handle.
  • Bulls first target the high from 2 May at ¥92.44, a break through here opens ¥93.04 high from Feb 15.
  • Bears immediate focus is on ¥90.78 (200-Day EMA), with the 20-Day EMA (¥90.39) providing the next support level.
  • On the wires today we have the RBA Minutes of the May Policy meeting when the RBA unexpectedly raised the cash rates 25 bps.
