This morning the yen is on the rise, with all yen pairs experiencing significant selling on reports that the BoJ may exit from its stimulus programme. The USD/JPY is leading the losers, while the EUR/JPY is set for three days of heavy losses. The AUD/JPY has now reversed much of last week’s gains.

Dollar pairs are mixed, with most dollar pairs including the EUR/USD, AUD/USD and NZD/USD making gains while the GBP/USD reverses.

The pound to euro balance is advantage euro at the moment as the EUR/GBP ebbs and flows.

There were strong gains for the USD/CHF yesterday, but this too is reversing this morning against the US Dollar.

At 13.30, we get Canadian building permits and US import prices.
