USD/JPY: Yen snaps back territory from 104.80 to 104.11 sesison lows
|Currently, USD/JPY is trading at 104.19, up 0.01% on the day, having posted a daily high at 104.89 and low at 104.11.
USD/JPY dropped back from session highs after disappointing US consumer confidences that sent US yields sharply lower in volatility with the VIX in recovery and investors seeking out safe havens yet again with the price of gold rallying, despite DXY entering new highs through the 99 handle. However, by the close, US 10yr treasury yields were little changed, after fluctuating between 1.74% and 1.79%.
