Japanese Yen surged ahead of policy review next week.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Japanese Yen, which was widely traded by the investors around the world, jumped on expectation that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) may review the monetary policy in the next meeting. According to the latest news from Yomiuri, the BoJ is expected to review the side effects of its massive monetary easing in the upcoming meeting despite the last month\u2019s modification of bond yield controls strategy. In the prior month, the BoJ has tried to stabilize the bond market by widening the band of long-term bond yield target from the previous cap of 0.25% to 0.50%. However, it failed to address the distortion in the bond market, and on the contrary, it heightened the speculation activity. Therefore, it urged the BoJ members to take a step back and review on its current monetary policy. A major policy tweak would likely to be seen in the upcoming meeting if it is necessary. As of writing, the pair of USD\/JPY plummeted by -0.68% to 131.60.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price edged down by -0.36% to $77.50 per barrel after jumping significantly yesterday as the EU\u2019s sanctions against the petroleum products from Russia overshadowed the effect of stockpiles in the US over the past week. Besides, the gold prices rose by 0.44% to $1883.85 per troy ounce as the majority of the investors are expecting the US CPI data would come in at a weaker pace.<\/p>\n
