Fundamental view

United Kingdom

The sterling lost ground sharply against peers, after it became clear that the percentage of voters, who support Scotlands independence from the United Kingdom reached 51% less than two weeks before the referendum is conducted, YouGov Plc survey for the Sunday Times showed.

Japan

At 23:50 GMT Bank of Japan will release the minutes from its most recent meeting on policy. The minutes offer detailed insights on central bank’s monetary policy stance. This release is closely examined by traders, as it may provide clues over interest rate decisions in the future. Moderate-to-high volatility is usually present after the publication. In case the minutes show a hawkish outlook, this usually supports the yen, while a dovish outlook usually has a bearish effect on the national currency.
