USD/JPY Analysis
This pair depends today on the announcement of important US inflation figures and the extent of investor appetite for risk. Overall, the US dollar keeps benefiting from the US-China trade war, while the US Federal Reserve is expected this month to raise interest rates. For the fifth day in a row, the pair is stabilizing at the resistance level of 111.00 which supports the strong upside correction. I prefer buying bearish retracements.
There is nothing important due today concerning the JPY. Regarding the USD, there will be the release of consumer price index and jobless claims data.
