Markets Backtrack Thursday Moves, Putting JPY on Backfoot

FOREX
  • After the sharp mid-week recovery off the post-BoJ decision lows, JPY is the weakest currency across G10 Friday, helping USD/JPY re-top Y129.50. This tips the pair above the 50% retracement of the post-BoJ range, leaving Y130.05 as the next upside level.
  • AUD, NZD are also bouncing, among the best performers in G10 after sliding throughout Thursday hours. AUD/USD trades in close proximity to a sizeable option expiry rolling off at today's cut: A$3.8bln rolling off at $0.6900.
  • EUR/CHF saw a flurry of buying interest alongside the European open, putting the cross closer to parity and narrowing the gap with the Monday highs at 1.0054. SNB's Jordan spoke for a second consecutive day at the WEF in Davos, but provided few new details on policy.
  • Canadian retail sales and US existing home sales are the data highlights Friday, with the speaker highlights including Fed's Hawker and Waller - both of which are voters on the FOMC this year.
