The
yen took a beating today while Japanese equities jumped. USD/JPY
traded up to just shy of 147.50 on the back of comments from Bank of
Japan deputy governor Uchida. The key point FX markets latched onto
were that Uchida said the Bank of Japan won’t raise rates while
markets are unstable. There is more from him in the bullets above but
that headline was the kicker.

USD/JPY
and yen crosses were extremely volatile. Liquidity and volume remain
below average in such a skittish market. Lows during the early Asian
morning were around 144.30, making for a 300+ point range.

The
Nikkei rose more than 2% and the Topix more than 3%.

Jobs
data from New Zealand showed the labour market is softening, but wage
growth remains on the high side, partly supported by government pay
agreements. The flip side of higher wages, though, is less total
hours worked. The unemployment rate rose in Q2 from Q1, but not by as
much as was expected. Employment was expected to have decreased, but
it rose. There was no compelling argument from this data for an
August rate cut. NZD/USD
jumped on the report, and after a pullback made new session highs and
has sustained these as I update.

AUD/USD
rose also. From the Reserve Bank of Australia today we had Assistant
Governor (Economic) Hunter speaking. She said that the economy is
running a little hotter than the Reserve Bank of Australia thought
previously.

Trade
data from China showed exports grew for a fourth straight month.
