USD/JPY unable to consolidate above 104.00
|
USD/JPY made another attempt to climb above the 104 mark, but it was rejected at the beginning of the New York session.
USD/JPY reached out a peak of 104.05 but failed to sustain gains and pulled back to the 103.90 area after data showed US Chicago Fed National Activity Index remained in negative ground for September.
At time of writing, the pair is trading at 103.95 still up 0.13% on the day, but overall well-within last days’ range, unable to trigger a longer-term directional move.
