USD/JPY held up on 109.20 key support
FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/JPY is trading at 109.30, down -0.32% on the day, having posted a daily high at 110.10 and low at 109.13.
USD/JPY briefly broke above 110.00 but has subsequently faded into the 109.20 support that carries a history of strong support. The US data was overall disappointing, apart from an inline set of ADP employments numbers. In taking account overnight data from Japan, Camilla Sutton, CFA, CMT, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank noted that the Tankan Q3 survey highlighted building strength in the manufacturing sector but a disappointing services sector and has fuelled a discussion on how JPY weakness is supporting manufacturing.
USD/JPY noteworthy levels
