USD/JPY died in the middle of tiny range
FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/JPY opened the day at 101.56, reached session low at 101.41swang back to session high at 101.63, and died somewhere in the middle.
It’s all about the yield
Despite the mixture of good and bad data from the US it looks like the market completely ignores the fundamentals, and is focused on 10Y treasuries moves. The US government bonds keep refreshing multi-month lows triggering the flight out of the USD. All of this brought the pair to March lows threatening the uptrend which we have seen from October, 2013. If the 101.30 area is broken it may bring another round of sell-off with initial target at 100.85 support level.
