Comment:
The JPY took some support from an upward revision to the country’s first-quarter gross domestic product reading. The reading pushed up optimism over some resilience in the Japanese economy, as it grapples with high inflation and softening global demand for exports while the dollar fell slightly on Thursday from near three-month highs, a day after a surprise rate hike from the Bank of Canada suggested the Federal Reserve may also have more work to do to combat inflation.
