FXStreet (Guatemala) - Currently, AUD/JPY is trading at 95.72, down -0.05% on the day, having posted a daily high at 95.82 and low at 95.70.

AUD/JPY will be under the spotlight later, and as strategists at TD Securities explained, the show-stopper is the employment data and given the definitive turnaround in job vacs in recent months they see the turnaround as “real” and expect another +15k (mkt +2.5k) although leaving the unemployment rate at the cyclical high of 6.0%.
