JPY

The Japanese Yen fell 0.21% in the previous session, but it recovered some of its losses as the new week began. In the latest news, Japan’s benchmark 10-year bond yield rose 1 basis point to 0.23%, tracking its U.S. counterpart higher as improving risk sentiment hurt demand for safe-haven debt. Meanwhile, the 10-year JGB yield remained below the 0.25% implicit yield cap after the Bank of Japan maintained its ultra-easy monetary policy, signaling its commitment to assisting the economy's recovery from the pandemic. The decision was widely anticipated, but it puts the BOJ at odds with other major central banks, which are aggressively tightening policy to combat rising inflation. On Monday, the Nikkei 225 Index rose 1.43%, while the broader Topix Index rose 1.11%, extending last week's rebound and tracking Wall Street gains, as investors continued to assess whether stocks have reached a bottom or are in the midst of a bear market rally.

CAD

The Canadian dollar appears to edge higher on Monday morning after rising 0.82% on Friday due to higher oil prices. The Loonie strengthened to its highest level in over a week, aided by a rebound in crude oil prices and rate-hike bets from the country's central bank, temporarily diverting attention away from recessionary concerns. Crude oil, one of Canada's major exports, recovered to $108 per barrel after falling in the previous two sessions as concerns about tight supplies outweighed concerns about lower fuel demand caused by aggressive monetary tightening by major global central banks. Meanwhile, inflation rose to a 39-year high in Canada of 7.7% in May, up from 6.8% in April, well above the central bank's target of 2%. Markets now expect the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates by at least 75 basis points in July, with strong labor market and retail sales data bolstering the case for aggressive monetary tightening.

The Mexican peso gained 0.74% in the previous session before slightly extending its uptrend this morning amid selling pressure on the U.S. dollar.

The magnitude of the increase also corresponded to the U.S. Federal Reserve's three-quarter-point increase in June, and Banxico acknowledged that other large global central banks were raising interest rates to control rising prices.
