Key quotes
“The downside pressure on US yields have dragged yields of the 10-year reference to fresh historic lows once again.
“The negative view on the pair looks unchanged, at least in the short-term scenario, as speculations on the likeliness of another interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve at the March 17-18 meeting remain on the rise.”
“There are limited chances of a recovery in USD/JPY, leaving occasional bullish attempts as selling opportunities.”
“A breach of Monday’s lows in the mid-101.00s should expose the next support of relevance at 101.19 (monthly low November 2016) ahead of the psychological 100.00 barrier.”
