USD/JPY resumes advance, hits 10-day high
|After a period of hesitation, USD/JPY gathered renewed buying interest and climbed to fresh 10-day highs above the 101.00 mark.
Fed Chair Yellen hawkish remarks gave the greenback a boost for a few minutes, but the rally lost steam soon after and USD/JPY dropped from the 100.80 zone to a low of 100.05. However, the US dollar has resumed the upside, overshooting early peaks to reach a high of 101.42 in recent dealings as investors reassess Yellen’s words.
