Japanese yen pressured
as inflation dips

Morning Report: 7.15 London

• This morning, the Japanese yen is under pressure once again after Japanese core inflation dropped just weeks ahead of crucial elections for PM Shinzo Abe. The USD/JPY is up 0.18%, with many other yen pairs following suit.
                                                                 

                               
                              

• Elsewhere, gold and silver remain under pressure as commodities generally take a beating following oils plunge yesterday. OPEC opted to not cut production, a move that usually would support oil prices and often commodities as a whole.
                                                                 

                               

                               

• The S&P 500 is holding at the highs, while the dollar index has gapped higher.

                               

                               
 
                             

Coming up today:

Coming up today we have French consumer spending at 07.45
• 
Following this, we have European CPI flash estimate at 10.00, with the unemployment rate at 10.00.
• 
Canadian GDP follows at 13.30 .

Trade Idea:

With the yen under pressure again, it could pay to step back aboard the USD/JPY train.

                               
                               
A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the USD/JPY will close higher than 118.50 in 7 days time for a potential return of 132% if successful.
