7/29/2021 10:33:23 PM GMT | By Anil Panchal AUD/JPY remains pressured, on the way to post fifth weekly loss. Virus updates battle risk-on mood, stimulus headlines to confuse traders. Australia infections jumped to August high, Japan plans to add more prefectures for emergency. Second-tier Japan, Aussie data and risk catalysts will be the key. AUD/JPY edges lower despite the recent pick-up around 81.00 during the early Asian session on Friday. The cross-currency pair stepped back from the 200-DMA the previous day after market sentiment improved but the covid updates from Australia and Japan came out bleak. Also weighing on the pair could be the mixed data from Tokyo and Canberra.
