Risk aversion generally will cause traders to buy safe-haven currencies, such as the USD and JPY. If a news release is risk adverse in nature and it affects the USD, such as a higher unemployment rate, then we should see USD weaken against JPY as both are considered as safe haven currencies... However, if we were to trade AUD/USD or even EUR/USD, then USD could gain on the back of that negative news as funds flow into buying US Treasuries (which is the safest instrument in the world), thus making USD stronger... |
