JPY: USD/JPY Probing Recent Highs Near 154.50, 155.00 Next Upside Focus Point
USD/JPY is pressing towards 154.45/50, which has marked recent highs. There has been a variety of official comments this morning, although the only directly FX related one was the remark around weaker yen driving import costs higher. The rest are largely focused on upcoming fiscal support and broader policy goals (positive real wages etc). Broader USD sentiment is firmer, with all of the G10 down versus the USD at this stage (yen is slightly underperforming). US equity futures are ticking up. A clean break higher in USD/JPY is likely to see 155.00 targeted.
