USD/JPY above 109.00, ready for trip to the North
FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/JPY is trying to settle above 109.00 pivot. The pair started the Asian session at 108.83 and touched the current Asian high at 109.11 before retreating to 109.02.
USD/JPY spiked to the highest level since October 7 after FOMC chose to be more upbeat about US economy than it was expected. The American policy-makers promised to keep the key Fed Funds Rate low for a “considerable time”, but wound up their bond-buying program. This story might support USD across the board, at lest until third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product, published later today, during NY hours. Analysts expect a downside revision of the preliminary figures, though numbers in line or better than forecasted may trigger a new wave of USD buying. From the technical point of view, keep an eye at 109.50 level with medium offers on approach. The support is seen at 108.75 (Asian high) and 108.50.
