USD/JPY continues to bleed
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The USD/JPY pair continues to bleed, hitting fresh session low at 118.53 amid signs of risk aversion in the equity markets and due to year end Japanese repatriation flows.
USD/JPY: At 5-week low
The pair has dipped to a five-week low ahead of the European session. The weakness seen in the major European index futures is supporting the traditional safe haven assets like the Japanese Yen and Gold. Meanwhile, the investors are also confused regarding the timing of interest rate hike in the US, which has kept the US dollar under pressure across the board.
Ahead in the day, the pair could be influenced by the weekly jobless claims data and the services PMI data in the US.
USD/JPY Technical Levels
The immediate resistance is seen at 118.61 (Feb. 25 low), above which the pair could re-test 119.00 levels. On the other hand, support is seen at 118.30 and 117.90 levels.
