USD/JPY flat around 123.40
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The greenback is trading almost unchanged vs. its Japanese counterpart on Tuesday, with USD/JPY meandering around 123.40.
USD/JPY focus on FOMC, BoJ
The pair has been trading in a narrow range today, navigating between 123.30 and 123.80 following the cautiousness amongst market participants ahead of tomorrow’s FOMC meeting and J.Yellen’s press conference, all preceding the BoJ monetary policy meeting on Friday.
Regarding the BoJ, Governor H.Kuroda has watered down his recent and controversial comments on the JPY levels, in a context where the likeliness of further monetary stimulus in the domestic economy seems to be losing traction and the ‘short sentiment’ on the Japanese currency keeps shrinking.
USD/JPY important levels
As of writing the pair is losing 0.02% at 123.38 with the next support at 123.32 (low Jun.16) ahead of 123.10 (low Jun.15) and then 123.00 (psychological level). On the other hand, a breakout of 123.81 (high Jun.16) would target 124.16 (Tenkan Sen) en route to 124.63 (high Jun.10).
