<title><![CDATA[FX Update: Yen Heads South in Europe]]></title>
<link>http://automatedtrader.net/real-time-news-3965.xhtm</link>
<description><![CDATA[JPY headed lower in early European trade, with profit taking activity picking up as equity markets steadied in Europe despite Asian market losses. USD/JPY rallied from an early European low of 95.40 to trade up to 96.23, clearing good size intra-day stops on Japanese bank books in the process. 

Meanwhile, EUR/JPY rebounded from 118.30 to trade up to 119.95 and GBP/JPY rallied from 141.30 up to 143.10. Similar movement was also noted in AUD/JPY and NZD/JPY, which traded up to 61.65 and 53.80 respectively. 

Movement in the JPY crosses has had a direct influence on the dollar legs, with EUR, GBP, AUD and NZD all pushing higher against the dollar. However, the tone remains fragile, with volumes reportedly wafer thin and highly correlated to equity markets. 

Elsewhere, there was speculation of BoJ in the JPY sell-off, but Japanese banks said there was no sign of them and no contact as yet. Recent press leaks and Japanese rhetoric indicate that the BoJ are unlikely to act unless USD/JPY broke 90.00, although the pace of JPY movement will be a concern and most likely lead to more jawboning.]]></description>
