FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Australian dollar bounced-back against the Japanese yen in the mid-Asian session, snapping losses from the previous session after bullish Aus economic releases buoyed the Aussie.

Rises from 92.47 levels post China CPI data

Currently, the AUD/JPY trades higher by 0.23% on the day, at 92.77 levels, retreating from previously posted fresh daily highs at 92.91 levels. AUD/JPY advanced this morning largely on Aussie strength following easing Chinese inflation data, which raised hopes for further stimulus from China to stimulate economic growth. Moreover, upbeat Australian housing market data and business confidence figures also contributed to the upside in AUD/JPY.

However, the upside in the cross remains restricted as the yen also gained slightly against the greenback. At the moment, AUD/USD trades at 0.7826, up 0.31% on the day, while USD/JPY trades lower by -0.15% at 118.47 levels.

AUD/JPY Levels to consider

To the upside, the next resistance is located at 93.02 (20-DMA) levels and above which it could extend gains to at 93.33 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 92.12 levels below that at 91.53 levels.
