|- Aussie whips as market sentiment swings ahead of Trump-Kim meeting conclusion.
- Bullish uptrend remains in place, but a souring meeting could see risk aversion strike.
The AUD/JPY is trading in a light back-and-forth, currently cycling near the day's start near the 84.00 handle as traders keep a close eye out for headlines from the ongoing Trump-Kim summit taking place in Singapore.
Aussie Home Loans recovered better than expected, printing at -1.4% versus the expected -1.9%, and certainly an improvement on the previous reading of -2.2%, while the Investment Lending for Homes reading for April also jumped upwards, coming in at -0.9% versus the previous -9% decline. Meanwhile, the NAB Business Confidence Survey for May came in slightly disappointing, printing at 6, below the forecast 9 and the previous printing of 10.
Little else remains on the docket for Tuesday on the AUD side, and markets are expected to continue focusing on the Trump-Kim summit, with market sentiment hanging on-balance while markets await Tweets or headlines from the summit.
