AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Remains subdued around 94.50/95.00, amid lack of catalyst

  • AUD/JPY trades at 94.98, down 0.02%, after failing to sustain gains above 95.00.
  • Daily chart shows potential for downside, with first support at October 30 low of 94.65.
  • Resistance levels to watch include 95.00, current week's high at 95.52, and October 25 high at 95.89.

The AUD/JPY continues to consolidate at around 94.50/95.00 in early trading on Tuesday's Asian session after failing to stay above the 95.00 figure on Monday. The cross-pair printed decent gains of 0.32% yesterday, but as the Asian session starts, the pair exchanges hands at 94.98, down 0.02%.

The daily chart portrays the pair remaining sideways, about to drop inside the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo), which could open the door for further downside. The AUD/JPY first support would be the October 30 low of 94.65, followed by the 94.00 figure. Once that level is cleared, the next stop would be the base of the Kumo at 93.96, followed by the October 3 low of 93.01.

On the flip side, the AUD/JPY first resistance would be the 95.00 figure, followed by the current week’s high at 95.52. A decisive break would expose the October 25 95.89 mark, ahead of 96.00.

GBP/USD slides below 1.3250 after failing to break through 23.6% Fibo

The GBP/USD pair meets with a fresh supply during the Asian session on Wednesday and moves away from a nearly two-week high around the 1.3275 region, touched the previous day. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.3235 zone, down 0.20% for the day, as traders look to speeches from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD nudges higher above 1.1350 on softer Fed stance, traders await US jobs data

The EUR/USD pair posts modest gains near 1.1380 during the early Asian session on Thursday. The US Dollar edges lower against the Euro on less hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh. Traders will closely monitor the US jobs data for June later on Thursday.


Gold holds rebound near $4,050, with all eyes on US NFP

Gold holds the rebound near $4,050 in Thursday's Asian trading, following the previous day's volatile two-way price swings. Traders now look to the crucial US NFP report for fresh impetus. In the meantime, the US Dollar retreats on profit-taking and Mideast optimism, underpinning the Gold price recovery.

A preview of NFP

The number is of much greater importance than usual as the Fed moves away from a forecasting framework and towards a current-data/rebuilding-credibility framework.  While I have been pooh-poohing Warsh’s hawkish opener, I am also open to the idea that if he is serious about rebuilding credibility, he can find enough hawkish votes, and if June NFP is another hot one—July FOMC could be in play. 

Just like Fed, is BoJ’s independence under threat?

When talking about central bank independence, most of the focus has been on Donald Trump’s pressure on the Federal Reserve. But a similar story, a quieter one for now, seems to be happening on the other side of the Pacific: Japan’s government may be testing the Bank of Japan’s independence.
