The AUD/JPY is trading in a light back-and-forth, currently cycling near the day's start near the 84.00 handle as traders keep a close eye out for headlines from the ongoing Trump-Kim summit taking place in Singapore.
Aussie Home Loans recovered better than expected, printing at -1.4% versus the expected -1.9%, and certainly an improvement on the previous reading of -2.2%, while the Investment Lending for Homes reading for April also jumped upwards, coming in at -0.9% versus the previous -9% decline.
