USD/JPY Analysis
The pair fell with the weakening of the USD during yesterday’s New York session. We are well in between any key levels and so the pair is quite likely to remain off the radar for a while, at least for as long as it remains between 118.00 and 120.00.
There are no high-impact events scheduled for the JPY today. Regarding the USD, at 3pm London time there will be a release of U.S. New Home Sales data and the Chair of the Federal Reserve will begin her testimony before the House Financial Services Committee.
