Apple released better than expected earnings just after the NY close and this is likely to have an impact on stockmarket sentiment in Tokyo and Seoul, when they open in 30 minutes. Higher stocks means risk-on sentiment usually in the FX market, and AUD/JPY is the main risk barometer during Asian trade.

Short-term support in the AUD/JPY cross now at 83.80 and light resistance at 84.20, with stronger levels near 84.70.
