Early Wednesday morning in Asia, the latest Reuters Tankan survey showed that the sentiment at big Japanese manufacturers fell in July for the first time in six months while confidence at non-manufacturers - while still very robust - edged down for a second straight month.

The survey acting as a leading indicator for the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) closely watched quarterly Tankan poll results flashed warning signs for the Japanese Yen (JPY) buyers.

That said, the sentiment gauge for the large manufacturers eases to 3.0 for July versus 8.0 for June whereas the index for non-manufacturers edges lower to 23.0 from 24.0 marked in the previous month.

Following the data, USD/JPY picks up bids to extend the previous day’s run-up to pierce the 139.00 round figure, up 0.17% intraday near 139.06 by the press time.
