USD/JPY - Dlr moves broadly sideways in Tokyo trading after yesterday's rally from 113.09 (AUS) to 113.78 in New York morning due to broad-based USD strength and although price retreated to 113.41 after soft U.S. mfg and services PMIs, renewed buying quickly lifted price, dlr later climbed back to 113.73 in Australia on Wednesday.
However, despite mildly hawkish comments by Cleveland Fed President Mester (non-voter) in an interview with CNBC and Bloomberg TV this morning, price fell in Asian morning due to cross-buying in yen esp vs eur, suggesting further sideways swings below said Tuesday's high would continue.
Bids are noted at 113.45-40 and more below with stops below 113.20.
Offers are tipped at 113.70/80 with stops above there, more stops are touted above 114.00.
