Last Friday, the yen fell a little on rumors which will be confirmed in the future, as Donald Trump had a premature departure from the G-7 summit without signing a resolution. There are also strikes and rallies in Vietnam and Bucharest. On Saturday, the Chinese CPI showed in the May assessment that the indicator remained at 1.8% YoY. While the producer price index increased from 3.4% YoY to 4.1% YoY. This morning, the Japanese index of basic orders for machinery products in April showed a strong increase of 10.1% m/m against the forecast of 2.5% and -3.9% in March. The monetary aggregate in May kept its growth at the level of the previous month - 3.2% YoY. Despite the forecast of 3.2%, the indicator can carry positive expectations for inflation.
Tomorrow will be the first meeting of Donald Trump with Kim Jong-un in Singapore, which is anticipated to be the first relations between the two leaders on the issue of the DPRK nuclear program. These are all positive moments for the dollar and USD/JPY pair growth. On Monday, the Japanese stock index Nikkei 225 is growing at 0.60%.
