In U.S. currency trading the previous day, the Canadian dollar fell against the yen following the Bank of Canada’s (BOC) policy rate announcement yesterday, in which the central bank raised the policy rate by 0.25% to 5.00%, in line with market consensus.Although the CAD/JPY pair showed an upward movement immediately after the announcement, the momentum did not last, and it eventually fell from 106.093 to 104.749. On the weekly chart, the RSI has entered a downtrend after touching 70, so we will need to monitor closely whether the downtrend will continue for some time.
Among European currencies, the euro—ahead of today’s release of the ECB Governing Council meeting minutes—fell slightly against the yen. The euro/yen pair dropped by about 110 pips from 154.512 to 153.398.Subsequently, the pair rebounded, recovering to 154.481 during today’s Asian trading session. From a technical perspective, the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart is currently acting as support for the EUR/JPY pair, so it will be worth watching to see if the pair continues to rebound from here.
