The Japanese Yen (JPY) is trading in a narrow range and slightly underperforming its G10 peers as recent haven-driven momentum fades. Signs of a slowdown in the multi-month JPY rally suggest that market turbulence may no longer provide the same lift for the currency, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.
"JPY is quietly consolidating within a tight range and entering the NA session a marginal underperformer against most of its G10 peers. The multimonth rally in JPY looks to be showing signs of deceleration following the latest period of haven-driven strength resulting from trade tensions and market turbulence."
