USDJPY spiked over dovish tone from Bank of Japan.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

USDJPY surged to its recent high yesterday amid the backdrop of dovish statement from Bank of Japan (BoJ), which spurred further bullish momentum on the pair. According to Reuters, the BoJ strengthened its commitment on Thursday to keep interest rates ultra-low by vowing to buy unlimited amounts of bonds daily to defend its yield target. Besides, Lee Hardman, a currency analyst at MUFG Bank in London has claimed that the BoJ gave the ‘all clear’ to continue selling the yen. The ultra-low interest rate in Japan would diminish the risk-off return of the investors, dialed down the market optimism toward Japanese Yen. Furthermore, the low interest rate was implemented as economic progression of a country was bad, indicating the economic progression of Japan might be worse than the market expectation, prompting investors to shift their capitals toward other currencies which having better prospects such as US Dollar. As of writing, USDJPY edged down by 0.10% to 130.72<\/p>\n

In commodities market, crude oil price depreciated by 0.28% to $105.05 per barrel as of writing. Nonetheless, the overall trend for oil price remained bullish following the supply disruption fears as Western sanctions curb crude and products exports from Russia underpinned prices. On the other hand, gold price appreciated by 0.51% to $1900.90 per troy ounces as of writing over the soaring inflation driven up inflation-hedged assets demand such as gold.<\/p>\n
