Yen slumps after China liquidity injection

Morning Report: 08.15 London

• Whether connected or not, there was a notable slump in the yen this morning after China pushed money into its banks ahead of the Chinese new year.





• The USD/JPY is up 0.5%, the EUR/JPY & GBP/JPY up around 0.39%. The AUD/JPY is also continuing its remarkable rebound, with another 0.29% gain this morning.






 



• Commodities are under pressure, with Silver off by around 1% and gold off by 0.37%.





• The dollar pairs are generally quiet, with the AUD/USD the notable mover, down 0.21%.


Coming up today:

• Coming up today, we have German ZEW Economic Sentiment at 10.00, with pan European data released at the same time.

• At 11.00, we get CBI Industrial Order Expectations.

• At 13.30 we switch to Canada with Manufacturing sales.

Trade Idea:

• The pound has some heavy data due tomorrow, but today looks set to be another tight range day. Historically this has provided a downside bias and this could prove to be the case here once again.


 

A LOWER trade predicting that the GBP/USD closes below 1.6400 in 1 days time could return 120%.
