Session recap: Aussie Dollar the biggest mover in an overall quiet session

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - A dearth of data and perhaps a little volatility fatigue gives traders multiple reasons to do something else with their time during Friday’s Asian session.

It’s quiet out there – almost too quiet

When a session is this quiet in terms of data flow, it’s not surprising to see a lack of uniformity in terms of the “risk-on / risk-off” dynamic. Friday’s Asian session feels very random in its trading with the recent trends holding a slight advantage over any potential reversal efforts. That means strong Aussie and Canadian Dollar along with a weak Yen thus far on Friday.

Later in the session, the data flow will be quite intense. But for now and lasting until 10:00 GMT, it is going to be very quiet.

EUR/JPY climbs to 134.74 session highs; keeps aiming higher
