AUDUSD dropped below 0.6700 in a knee-jerk reaction to the mixed Australian Retail Sales and Producer Price Index data, before regaining the latter amid a minor pullback in the US Dollar in Friday's mid-Asian trading. Focus shifts to US PCE inflation data.  USDJPY is holding steady below 139.50, stalling its rebound from weekly lows, as investors gather nerves ahead of the BoJ policy announcements. Speculations of a tweak in the BoJ's YCC policy lifted the JPY in the overnight trades.  Gold price steadies around the mid-$1,900s amid the early hours of Friday’s Asian session, after posting the biggest daily slump in two months the previous day. The XAUUSD portrays the market’s consolidation ahead of the top-tier US data. #AUD/USD# #USD/JPY# #TradeNotes# #FX# #trading# #gold#
