USD/JPY
Currency Open positions - The environment of global growth has been changing quite a bit by Odom & Frey Futures & Options
This pair has been on a steady climb after breaking through the 119 resistance level. The unexpected resilience of the U.S. economy has definitely created some fundamental support for this pair. The upcoming rate decisions from the Bank of Japan are likely to impact this market and if interest rates in Japan do rise expect that to dampen the recent strength a bit.

Top Market Movers Preview
France Household Spending
| Period | Previous | Consensus | Time |
| December (MoM) | 0.9% | 0.3% | Jan 23, 07:45 GMT |
| December (YoY) | 4.3% | 4.7% | Jan 23, 07:45 GMT |
Friday Notes - Steadily on the rise by HVB Group
We expect household spending to post a 0.3% m-o-m pick up, after two consecutive solid increases. The increase should be largely driven by a rebound in car outlays, after a 1.5% m-om contraction in November. An outcome broadly in line with our forecast would point to a solid contribution of private consumption also to Q4 GDP.
