Key Quotes:
“The Japanese yen has posted a discrete advance considering the sharp decline in worldwide stocks, but may play catch up after the upcoming Nikkei’s opening.
Technically, the 1 hour chart shows that the pair is slowly extending its decline below its 100 SMA for the first time since late October, whilst the technical indicators present tepid bearish slopes below their mid-lines, lacking momentum enough to confirm an imminent break lower.”
