Gold rises even as USD/JPY extends move above 156.50

The rebound in the USD/JPY has now extended even further. The dollar has just now pushed to a fresh session high above 156.50. Hence, it has reversed all the downside seen earlier after the BOJ moved to raise interest rates. The push higher in the USD/JPY has now sent the EUR/USD a little lower, as it drops closed to the earlier breakout point at 1.0458. The Euro peaked at 1.0515 earlier this morning. Gold is lifting too and just now making a move above $2,780 for the first time this year. So, gold is once again a little closer to record it reached last year at $2,790.10. The move higher in the USD/JPY at the same time as Gold rises looks rather odd, especially as US yields are a no lower than earlier. So, we shall have to see where this all takes us. Gold is currently trading at $2,781.80
