The Japanese Yen climbed after unemployment data was reduced.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Japanese Yen, which was traded against the greenback, climbed after the unemployment data was reduced.\u00a0 Japan\u2019s unemployment slips 0.2% more than market expectations of 2.7% from 2.8% to 2.6%, government data showed Tuesday. The number of full-time workers rose to 36.34 million, the highest since 2013. Companies are paying higher wages to lure workers amid chronic labour shortages, with Japanese top companies, in particular, agreeing to the biggest pay increase in decades as inflation surges. Besides the active job openings-to-applicants ratio in April was in line with market expectations and marked at 1.32. Construction and manufacturing are laying off workers as higher raw material prices and higher commodity prices worsen the order environment. However, the gains of the Japanese yen were limited by BoJ\u2019s Governor Ueda’s speech. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the inflation rate is not sustained by 2% and predicted the inflation would begin to fall sharply in the middle of the year. Hence, BoJ might extend its ultra-loosen monetary policy to keep inflation sustainable at 2%. As of writing, the JPY\/USD slipped to -0.26% to $140.22.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices ticked down by -0.39% to $ 72.40 per barrel as the market’s concerns over the rate hike possibility. Besides, gold prices teeter down by -0.22% to $1941.49 per troy ounce as the investor risk appetite increased.<\/p>\n
