The Japanese Yen (JPY) gained against most currencies except the USD which broke above 108 as US equities surged. Heavy falls in the EUR/USD and GPB/USD were too large to offset an increase in risk appetite. June Industrial Output was slightly weaker than forecast at -2% vs. market expectations of 1.7%. Overall the USDJPY traded with a low of 107.30 and a high of 108.30 before closing the day around 108.10 in the New York session.
