USD/JPY bounces off 114.20

After falling to levels last seen in November 2014 around 114.20, the pair has managed to pick up pace and attempt a recovery along with a resurgence of the risk appetite following the opening bell in Europe.

The Japanese Yen has been the best performing currency during overnight trading sustained by the persistent risk aversion stemming from concerns over global growth.
