USD/JPY - ...... Despite dlr's retreat from 119.83 to 119.43 in NY session due partly to cross-buying in yen, price edged higher in NY afternoon and climbed to 119.78 in Wednesday's Tokyo morning on renewed broad-based buying in the greenback before easing.
Today, expect fund flows to dominate the market in Asia and buying dlr on dips is recommended due to the intra-day rise in Nikkei to a fresh 15-year high (N225 is currently up 1.07% to 20122).
