AUD/JPY: Unable To Sustain post-RBA Gains, Holding Above 200-Day EMA

AUD

AUD/JPY rallied ~1.4% in the aftermath of the RBAs decision to raise the cash rate 25bps yesterday printing its highest level since March 3rd. However falling US Treasury Yields and US equity weakness weighed on the pair and gains were trimmed to finish little changed yesterday.

  • We sit a touch under the ¥91 handle in early dealing today, and marginally above the 200-Day EMA at ¥90.81.
  • Bulls look to sustain a break of ¥92 handle to target year to date highs at ¥93.04.
  • Bears immediate focus is on a break of the 200-Day EMA (¥90.81) opening up the 20-Day EMA (¥89.79).
