USD/JPY lifts above 147 as Nikkei 225 futures gain
The Japanese stock markets are closed for a public holiday today (Mountain Day), but the Nikkei 225 futures are higher and that has helped to push the Yen weaker. The Nikkei closed on Friday at 35,025. It is currently priced to open tomorrow at around 35,485. The USD/JPY which closed on Friday at 146.61, has lifted to a 147.22 high so far today. The gain in the USD/JPY has helped to keep in check any gains in the GBP/USD and EUR/USD, whilst pushing both the EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY higher at the same time. The news flow has been pretty light as has been the economic release schedule. As far as the rest of the day is concerned, that is pretty non-existent too. The USD/JPY is currently trading at 147.12
