USD/JPY

Trend Theme:Japanese Yen recovers further from one-month low, not out of the woods yet.

Trend Review:The Japanese Yen is seen extending the overnight recovery against the USD from a one-month low. Expectations that the BoJ will stick to its ultra-dovish policy stance should cap the upside for the JPY. Diminishing odds for an early rate cut by the Fed could lend support to the buck and the USD/JPY pair.

Trend Review:Gold bounces off the weekly low of $2,013 to $2,030 during the early Asian session on Friday.
