Japan\u2019s base salaries jumped putting BoJ policy into view.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Japanese Yen which traded against the dollar index, edged lower after the Japanese Yen strengthened as Japan\u2019s base salaries jumped to 28 years high since 1995. Global financial markets have been monitoring closely Japan\u2019s wage data, as Bank of Japan (BoJ) Kazuo Ueda cited pay growth as a critical factor in deliberations about the shift in policy. Nominal wages, not adjusted for inflation, rose 2.5% from a year earlier to 283,868 yen ($1,972.16). While the real salaries which adjusted for the inflation rose 1.8% to 252,132 yen (USD 1751.67), labour ministry data showed. Economist comments that if inflation is sustainable at around 2% and nominal wages increase from 3% to 3.5%, these conditions would fuel the hopes that BOJ could end its ultra-loosen monetary policy. However, separate data on Friday showed household spending down to -4.0% from -4.4%, lower than market expectations of -2.4%. The high inflation effect weighed on household spending. Some economists commend that BoJ should maintain its ultra-loosen monetary policy to accelerate household spending and real wage growth. As of writing, the USDJPY slipped to -0.09% to 143.93.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices rose by 0.38% to $72.07 per barrel as EIA crude oil inventory showed a deficit result. On the other hand, the cost of gold edged up 0.01% to 1910.94 as the price of gold fell in the previous session after the US released mixed economic data.<\/p>\n
