Fundamentals – NZDJPY Confirms Above Ichimoku
While we are looking at New Zealand and Japanese currencies, it is important to remember that a downward pressure on the US dollar could sometimes impact the Japanese Yen.
The main driver behind the NZDJPY gains was Monday’s Consumer Price Index out of New Zealand which came in at 0.2%, bettern than the expected 0.1%. However it was down from previous 0.4%, This could indicate that the NZD gains may be short-lived from a fundamental point of view.
Japan’s All Industry Activity Index came in lower than August, yet anothre force behind short-term JPY weakness.
