USD/JPY is extending the recovery toward 147.00 after Hiroshige Seko, Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s (LDP) Upper House secretary-general, said that “BoJ Gov Ueda has said that exit from the easy policy will be after achieving the 2% inflation target.”
EUR/USD is consolidating its rebound near 1.0750, as traders brace for Germany’s ZEW survey. Euro traders digest the EU Commission’s downgrade to the Eurozone’s growth forecasts.

Meanwhile, Bank of England (BoE) policymaker Catherine Mann said on Monday, "I would rather err on the side of over-tightening. But, if I am wrong, and inflation decelerates more quickly and activity deteriorates more significantly, I will not hesitate to cut rates.”
AUD/USD is trading back and forth in a 25 pips range above 0.6400, as the renewed China optimism is offset by a pause in the US Dollar sell-off. Meanwhile, USD/CAD is reapproaching the 1.3600 mark, notwithstanding the latest upswing in WTI prices.
Gold price is holding steady while defending the critical 200-Daily Moving Average (DMA) at $1,920 amid a lack of fresh catalysts and pre-US inflation data repositioning.
