Having reached an intraday high greater than 91.40 during the Asian session, the AUD/JPY pair is currently under selling pressure. Despite the aggressive monetary policy statement by the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Australian Dollar has met offers (RBA).

 

Increasing gasoline prices, series demand, and electricity rates drove the increase in Australian inflation in December. The loss of rebates in Western Australia resulted in a 7% increase in electricity bills in December.

 

The RBA has projected that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth will be 2.75 percent in 2022, 1.5 percent in 2023, and 1.5 percent in 2024.

 

On the Japanese Yen front, investors are awaiting the Bank of Japan contenders to replace Haruhiko Kuroda (BoJ). Analysts at Commerzbank expect that next week's nomination, regardless of who emerges as the frontrunner, would have a substantial impact on the Yen exchange rate.

 

In the interim, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated, "The administration is in the process of picking the nominee for the next BoJ Governor, and they are aware of the market's keen interest in the choice." He stated, "Communication skills have become increasingly important for someone like the new governor of the Bank of Japan."

 

According to a report by Reuters, the Japanese government intends to present its candidates for governor and two deputy governors to parliament on February 14.
