Market reaction
The market mood remains cautious amid expectations of emergency rates cut by other global bankers, as they are likely to take the lead from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to battle the coronavirus crisis.
The US Treasury yields remain heavy, capping the bounce in USD/JPY near 107.50. The mixed trading in the Asian equities and rebound in Wall Street futures keep the bulls somewhat motivated.
Investors also weigh in the sharp drop in China’s Caixin Services PMI data.
