China&#8217;s choice  to hoist interest rates turned out to be in favor of Japan&#8217;s economy.  The Nikkei-225 index of Japan gained 0.75 percent in Monday&#8217;s trading  session. Further, Japan&#8217;s production rises, suggesting that economic  recovery in their nation is intact. The increase of the yen may be  harmful to their economy as the export industry suffers but the movement  is unstoppable as Japan indicates a strong economic upturn.<\/p>\n<p>However,  the posted decrease in Consumer Prices might affect the trade. A fall  of 0.5 percent is recorded in November, its 21st straight monthly drop. A  deflationary pressure is weighing now on the economy. This data may  possibly affect the trade a bit.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, despite the  pessimism of the aforementioned news, the Japanese yen may still look  forward to a good trade today. It looks like the yen has been named the  currency safe haven for now.<\/p>\n<p>Asian Session Outlook<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday&#8217;s  trade in the Asian session was in favor of their three major  currencies. The Japanese yen, Australian dollar, and New Zealand dollar  gushed upward against its American and European currency counterparts.  The movement of the Asian currencies against European counterparts was  dramatic. At the beginning of the trade, euro had a bullish breakout  against JPY, AUD, and NZD; 2-5 candle sticks after it had a reversal. As  against JPY, it had a reversal after hitting 109.41 price level. For  the AUD, it u-turned after touching 1.3143. Lastly, the EURNZD pair  declined after making resistance level at 1.7632. The Asian currencies  may have rallied despite Bank Holiday probably perhaps it was the  currency safe haven for now as USD was badly affected by the blizzard in  their country.<\/p>\n<p>For today&#8217;s session, the Japanese yen might still  pursue a bullish channel against greenback and fiber. Before the holiday  started, Japan strongly implied that their economy is strong. There may  be no economic indicators for Japan but for now, it is still considered  as the traders&#8217; safe sanctuary for trade.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the aussie  and kiwi may also look at an upward trend as euro is still infected by  the contagious debt crisis while greenback at the moment is affected by  the blizzard that occurred in the east coast.<\/p>\n<p>More, the three  musketeers of Asian currencies can expect further escalation as China  increased their interest rates to control inflation. The Asian stocks  rallied and so is the trade of their respective currencies.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Forex Signs, Inc., Founded in 2006 in Wall Street, New  York City, FSI relentlessly strives to be the premier Forex brokerage  company in the industry by providing exclusive and unmatched trading and  investment related services while constantly developing innovative  solutions that cater to the vast requirements of both individual and  institutional market participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japanese yen is looking very optimistic today as against euro most likely due to the hiking of interest rates in China.
