AUD/JPY: Bulls cheer risk-on, flirts with 82 handle
|The AUD/JPY cross paused its rebound from five-month lows near 82.10 levels, now consolidated the recovery around 82 handle, as investors gear up for the upcoming US macro data for next push higher.
The cross staged a solid comeback so far this session, mainly driven by a sharp rebound in AUD/USD, as risk-on moods persisted on Thursday amid a recovery in stocks and oil prices. Also, the Aussie remains underpinned by a pause in the sell-off in iron-ore prices.
Meanwhile on the JPY-side of the story, the USD/JPY pair managed to extend gains above 109 handle amid yen weakness, with markets look to take the yield advantage amid a better risk environment.
