USD/JPY is scared of heights, but still around 102.80
FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/JPY opened at 102.80, slid to 102.72 in order to rebound back above 102.80 by the moment.
Positioning before the NFP
The pair is on the way to new highs especially if US data continues to signal the stronger than expected recovery, as US GDP did yesterday. Today the market may focus on labor reports as readings may help the investors to position before the key event of the week – Non-Farm Payrolls. We already know that ADP came out below expectations, so if Challenger’s data and Jobless Claims disappoint as well, we may see the reversal from the recent highs with initial target at 102.18 support.
