USD/JPY: slightly offered ahead of Jackson Hole
|USD/JPY is a bit of a dead fish in the water as we open in Tokyo while markets have had very little to go on while we await the Jackson Hole and Yellen speaking.
There was some less than poor data from the US in durable goods overnight, a key component to the GDP figures that has been struggling to bounce back from a poor Q1. nonetheless, we will get the second estimate of the US GDP for Q2 tomorrow and should there be further downward revisions, this could overshadow anything remotely hawkish from Yellen and weaken the outlook for the greenback.
