USD/JPY - ...... Although dlr staged a rebound from 122.01 to 122.65 in NY session as Dow pared early its losses and ended in a positive territory on Tuesday (DJI rebounded from intra-day low at 17465 and closed up 0.53% to 17776), price fell again to 121.97 in Tokyo morning on Wednesday as decline in Asian stocks markets triggered broad-based buying in yen for risk aversion.
Looks like buying of yen would continue ahead of European open and therefore, selling on intra-day recovery is recommended, however, near term outlook remains consolidative and reckon Mon's fresh 1-month trough at 121.70 would hold in Asia.
