Comment:

The Yen looks set for a flat weekly European close around the 104.00 mark having had printed a 103.92-104.58 parameter. Price action has been comparatively caged for the pair over the week, although some JPY weakness throughout the week was attributed to gotobi play, whilst on a domestic front - Q3 GDP was revised higher whilst core machine orders also saw a jump. Japanese PM Suga also unveiled a fresh stimulus package worth some JPY 73.6tln. Looking ahead, next week sees the BoJ confab, National CPI and the Tankan Survey.
