Forex - USD/JPY stays solidly above Y100, NZD/USD well bid at Asia open

Investing.com - The Japanese yen stayed solidly above 100 against the dollar in early Asian trade on Monday with the New Zealand dollar well bid to start the day taking out last week's high.

USD/JPY traded at 100.26, up 0.07%, in a range of 100.21 - 100.27, with scant economic data scheduled outside of the lightly followed cash earnings for the month of September.

NZD/USD hit a high of 0.83570 in early trade and is up 0.20%, as investors mull the continued strength of the economy against tame inflation and the scope for a hike in the official cash rate early next year.

The dollar slid to a one-week low against the euro on Friday and edged lower against the yen following the release of unexpectedly weak U.S. manufacturing data, one day after Federal Reserve chairwoman nominee Janet Yellen defended the bank's stimulus program.

EUR/USD traded at 1.3492, down 0.04%, early in Asia.

In the week ahead, investors will be closely watching Wednesday's minutes of the Fed's most recent policy setting meeting. The U.S. is also to release data on retail sales and consumer prices.

The euro zone is to release data on manufacturing and services sector activity and the ZEW Institute is to release its report on German economic sentiment. Meanwhile, China is to produce preliminary data on manufacturing activity.

In Asia on Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of Australia is to publish its monetary policy meeting minutes, which contain valuable insights into economic conditions from the bank's perspective. Australia is also to publish an index of leading economic indicators.

The dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback against a basket of six other major currencies, traded at 80.95 on Monday, up 0.10%.
