USD/JPY stapled to 110.50 for the new week
|- The Dollar is softening on Monday, and recovering risk appetite is seeing the safe-haven Yen also take a breather, leaving the USD/JPY to twist in the middle.
- A sedate calendar for the early week sees market sentiment maintaining firm control of flows.
The USD/JPY is trading sideways for Monday, cycling around the 110.50 level.
The Dollar-Yen pairing is drifting for the new trading week as the USD and the JPY compete to be sold off. Risk appetite has seen a resurgence for Monday despite US-China trade tensions resulting in tit-for-tat tariffs late last week. The US Non-Farm Payrolls hit in the middle, showing a better-than-expected jobs report, but wage growth remained subdued, and the Greenback is waffling across the broader market.
USD traders will be looking ahead to Thursday's CPI reading, but the Yen will be seeing Machinery Orders late Tuesday at 23:50 GMT, and the m/m figure for May is expected to decline from 10.1% to -5.5%.
