USD/JPY chart - Trading View
USD/JPY opened the week's trade with a gap-gap down and is extending losses as we write.
The pair was trading 0.56% lower on the day at 107.30 at around 03:00 GMT, after closing 1.50% lower in the previous session.
The PBOC (People's Bank of China) earlier today cut the seven-day reverse repo rate to 2.2% from 2.4% and injected 50 billion yuan or $7 billion into the banking system.
The central bank's rate cut and the liquidity injection have failed to put a bid under the risk assets.
The major may extend declines on fears the Japanese government may declare a state of emergency due to the worsening COVID-19 situation.
Japan's Cabinet Secretary Suga was out on the wires informing markets about the possibility of declaring an emergency in Japan.
