AUD/JPY firmer, heading towards 200-DMA?
The AUD/JPY cross received a double booster shot on Easter Monday, with light trading adding to the bullish under tone, driving the rate towards 85.50.
AUD/JPY gains for the 3rd straight session
Currently, the AUD/JPY pair rises 0.64% to 85.45, hovering close to fresh session highs posted at 85.50 last minutes. The bulls tightened the grip on the AUD/JPY cross over the last hours after the rebound in the AUD/USD pair picked-up pace tracking the recovery in the oil and gold prices.
However, further upside remains in check as the USD/JPY rally appears to have taken a pause, as markets await fresh cues from the US PCE index, pending home sales and personal spending data due later in the NY session.
