And another rate decision approached the market this morning. The BOJ left its interest rate unchanged at -0.1% with upbeat outlook of the economy. In its monetary policy statement, the BOJ increased its prospects of GDP and inflation growth rates for 2017. However, positive statement of the BOJ failed to provide the USD/JPY pair with any bearish momentum as investors had already priced-in any hawkish comments of BOJ members by that time. Moreover, the pair has strengthened its bid tone after head of the BOJ H.Kuroda reiterated that the Japanese CB is ready to adjust its monetary policy to reach its inflation target level. Currently the major is trading above the level of 118 moving away from its overnight lows marked just a few pips away from 117 level.

The yen showed one of the best results across the market in Asia outperforming its American counterpart. The dollar/yen pair came under renewed buying pressure this morning as the greenback is still extending its correction down from its 14-year highs, posted after Fed’s hawkish decision seen last week. Another reason of better bearish tone around the pair is that traders are fixing the profit ahead of winter holydays thereby additionally supporting the yen. Today USD/JPY pair will continue to follow US dollar’s price-dynamics and RO-RO trend while only US Existing Home Sales will be able to set some short-term direction for the pair.

However, the major has recovered most part of its losses and now is trading around the mid-point of 1.04 level, consolidating its previous gains.

Another surprisingly strong move was performed by the EUR/USD pair at the last working day of this year. The main currency pair witnessed a momentary spike of almost two cents refreshing its two-week highs at 1.0650 level, straight away after posting its daily lows at 1.0485 spot. However, the spike faded quickly and now the pair is consolidating part of gains in the region of 1.0530.
