FXStreet (Mumbai) – The cross in the AUD/JPY stages a solid comeback this session and recovers sharply from one-month lows mainly driven by broad yen weakness while a stronger AUD/USD also supports.
AUD/JPY regains 87 handle
Currently, the AUD/JPY pair rises 0.57% to 87.44, testing fresh two-day highs reached at 87.46 in last hours. The AUD/JPY found renewed bids near 86.50 levels and rebounded higher as the USD/JPY pair caught a fresh bid tone beyond 121 handle.
Moreover, the AUD/USD pair reversed early losses and embarked upon a strong recovery mode from heavy losses seen last week, thus, adding to the upbeat momentum in AUD/JPY.
In the day ahead, the cross is likely to remain underpinned amid improving appetite for higher yielding currencies and equities. While on the data-space, there is nothing relevant on the cards today.
