The Japanese yen ascended against most of its 16 major peers as the largest drop in Chinese exports since 2009 and persisting turmoil in Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula pushed demand for Japan’s haven assets.
The yen was backed as Bank of Japan policy makers start a two-day meeting today. Australian dollar dropped from its most in three months versus the yen prior to Chinese data on credit growth after a report that showed the country had its largest trade gap in two years. The figures may have been deformed by the Lunar New Year holiday and bogus invoices. Net stakes on a profit in the euro increased to the highest this year before data this week predict to show industrial production retreated.
The yen was at ¥103.20 per dollar as of 8:56 a.m. in Tokyo, ¥103.28 on March 7, when it finished a 1.4% weekly decrease. It was somewhat changed at ¥143.21 per euro. The 18-nation euro was at $1.3878, previously $1.3875 after hitting $1.3915 on March 7, its strongest since October 2011.
China’s overseas shipments surprisingly fell 18.1% in February from a year earlier, customs data seen March 8. Imports increased 10.1%, more than postulated, leaving a trade deficit of $23 billion, the data reported.
Meanwhile, Aussie slipped 0.2% to ¥93.48 after reaching ¥94.48 on March 7, the highest since November 20. It lessened 0.1% to 90.57 U.S. cents. Pro-Russian forces advanced in the Crimean peninsula, shrugging off Western calls to stop a military takeover before the region conducts a referendum on separation. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said he would go to Washington on March 12 as Russian President Vladimir Putin justified the movements of Crimea’s local government, which may employ the March 16 vote to leave Ukraine and join the country’s Soviet-era master.
