  • AUD/JPY edges higher on Monday in the Asian trading session.

The Aussie held the multi-day support after falling continuously from the previous month from the high above 85.00. Investors await the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) interests rate decision on Tuesday, the market expects that the central bank is likely to maintain its status quo.

In the recent update, the extension of lockdowns in other states in Australia weighed on the prospects of the Australian dollar. New South Wales, remained the hardest-hit state with over fresh 200 news cases on weekend. 

The capital state, Sydney remained in lockdown, Queensland’ southeast extended its lockdown to the end of the week.

On the other hand, the yen remained submissive despite the upbeat economic data. The Jibun Manufacturing PMI revised higher to 53.0 in June.

That said, a slower vaccination rollout program and lockdown restriction kept the currency pressurized.

Investors are waiting for the release of the Chinese Caixin manufacturing Purchase Manager Index (PMI) data to gauge the market sentiment.
