Eyes on Wednesday’s non-farm payrolls benchmark revisions

USD/JPY
continued to move around during Asia trade, covering a few laps from
just under 145.00 to just over 145.50. As I posted earlier, the
reverberations of the Bank of Japan rate hike, expectations of a
September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate cut, and the
carry unwind are all contributing. Mix in the Summer (northern
summer) markets thinner than at other times of year, and a dash of
diminished liquidity exacerbated by the wild swings.

From
Japan today we had trade data. Bloomberg carried an interview with
Katsunobu Kato, a potential candidate for the country’s next prime
minister who made clear his support for the Bank of Japan moving
further with rate hikes.

Apart
from Japan it was fairly subdued. Notably, the People’s Bank of
China set
its daily reference rate for the yuan broadly in line with
expectations, a sign it’s loosening its tight grip for the currency
its
been propping up for months and months. The PBoC (and yuan) have been
a beneficiary of the weaker USD and stronger JPY.

Some useful info is due out of the US on Wednesday:
