Key Quotes
“On the CFTC front, net speculative JPY shorts were pared in the latest week, and we continue to think that the USD/JPY remains a cleaner representation of dollar sentiment ahead of and post FOMC.”
“Immediate support is expected at the 55-day MA (98.89) before the 98.30 area while 100.00 on the upside remains a hard habit to break for now.”
