UNLOCK OFFERUSD/JPY Current price: 106.71
- Stimulus hopes mount as US President Biden’s stimulus bill passes the House.
- US Treasury yields are in recovery mode and still leading the way.
- USD/JPY firmly bullish in the near-term, immediate resistance at 106.95.
The USD/JPY pair trades at fresh 2021 highs in the 106.70 price zone as market players continue to buy the greenback. Weekend news spurred some risk-appetite at the beginning of the day, as the focus shifted to the US fiscal aid. The House of Representatives passed President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, which has now moved to the Senate. Democrats hope to pass it before March 14, when the previous stimulus expires.
Lower US Treasury yields put some pressure on the greenback, although the American currency resumed its advance with London’s opening. European indexes are sharply higher despite Asian losses, while US government bond yields trimmed early losses.
Japan published the February Jibun Bank Manufacturing PMI, which printed at 51.4 from 50.6 in the previous month. The US session will include the final reading of the February Markit Manufacturing PMI and the official ISM manufacturing index, the latter foreseen at 58.8 from 58.7 previously.
