USD/JPY recovers lost ground, sits above 110.00
|- USD/JPY has faded the drop to an eight-week low of 109.77 and is now trading above 110.00.
- 10-year US-Japan bond yield differential favors the bears.
Currently, the USD/JPY is trading at a session high of 110.11, having clocked an eight-week low of 109.77 today.
The US dollar was offered in early Asia on fears that Fed may hike rates at a slower pace in response to Trump's criticism of Powell's policy tightening plans.
Focus on yield differential
The spread between the US and Japanese 10-year government bond yield dropped to 273 basis points yesterday - the lowest level since late March - and look set to fall further in the USD-negative manner, as indicated by the head-and-shoulders breakdown.
Hence, it seems safe to say the recovery in the USD/JPY from 109.77 to 110.11 could be short-lived.
