Yen buoyed as US banking sector fears.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Japanese Yen is the third most commonly traded currency in the world buoyed by US banking sector fears. The dollar fell against the yen after the yen outperformed after the panic in the US banking sector. The dollar’s decline came as First Republic Bank (RFC)’s decline accelerated after its earnings report, with the company’s stock price plummeting 66% in 3 days. As a result, investors have turned funds into traditional safe-haven assets such as the yen.\u00a0 However, the outlook for the yen is in mixed conditions as the Yen was under selling pressure following the inauguration of Kazuo Ueda as the new Bank of Japan Governor. The New BoJ governor reiterated to maintain its ultra-loosen policy to achieve BoJ\u2019s 2% inflation target. The yen depreciated after BoJ gave a dovish outlook following the comments, as the value fell as the money supply in the market increased. Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen struggled as investors continued to eye on the BoJ monetary meeting on Friday. At this point in time, the majority of investors expect that the new BoJ Governor Ueda will likely maintain the bank’s monetary easing decision in the meeting. As of writing, the USD\/JPY traded lower by 0.01% to $133.64.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices rebounded by 0.26% to $74.49 per barrel after heavy losses on US banking sector jitters. On the other hand, gold prices edged up by 0.53% to $1999.80 per troy ounce amid the US dollar weakening.<\/p>\n
