USD/JPY extends gains above 156.00 after the expected BoJ rate hike
USD/JPY sees a fresh leg higher and regains the 156.00 level in Friday's Asian trading. The Japanese Yen loses further ground, digesting the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected 25 bps rate hike to 0.75%. Traders now look to Governor Ueda's press conference for fresh directives.
AUD/USD consolidates above 0.6600 amid mixed cues
AUD/USD steadies above 0.6600 during the Asian session following the previous day's two-way price swings and a positive close. Against the backdrop of the RBA's hawkish stance, a positive risk tone is seen acting as a tailwind for the Aussie. The US Dollar, on the other hand, reverses the softer US CPI-led slide and stands firm near the top end of its weekly range, acting as headwind for the currency pair amid China's economic woes.
