USD/JPY joins Nikkei in move higher on BoJ commentary

Overnight commentary from the Bank of Japan, in which officials claimed to see significant scope to boost government bond purchases as a means of supporting efforts to reach 2% inflation, helped the Nikkei to close 2.02% up. The weakening Yen saw USD/JPY climb higher and was supported by better than expected Japanese Exporter and Merchandise Trade Balance data too. Matt Bacon-Hall of FXBeat notes that following the climb to test the 103 level, was met by selling pressures.
