AUD/JPY bulls in positive territory above 100 1hr sma
|AUD/JPY is currently in positive territory given the return of risk this week and a pick up in the commodities sector, despite the strength seen in the Yen from yesterday's Tokyo open and subsequent bid.
Traders backed the Yen when note was given to a Japanese official suggesting that the BoJ were not about to intervene anytime soon. However, today's CPI data should add some softness to the Yen and aid the cross on its onward northerly trajectory. WTI penetrated $50..bbls overnight and the commodities sector in general is performing on a softer dollar as markets begin to discount the June hike from being a certainty as US data continues to under perform.
