USD/JPY: Buck Steps From 3-Wk High, Rests After Powerful Run
The greenback was trading with modest losses against the Japanese yen in the afternoon, snapping its impressive two-day leap worth almost 500 pips.
As a result, the USD/JPY hit a three-week high at ¥104.98 on Tuesday, fueled by hopes of further fiscal and monetary stimulus by the Japanese government after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe confirmed his position in the election over the weekend.
"Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's party's comprehensive win in the upper house elections over the weekend have markets salivating, as talk of a massive stimulus dominates the news wires," senior economist Tom Kenny of ANZ said in a note.
On Wednesday, the pair gave up 0.58% to ¥104.06, while the US dollar index lost 0.37% to 96.16 points during US market hours.
