DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 27 Feb 2020 09:30GMT
USD/JPY - 110.03
Dollar's retreat from yesterday's high at 110.70 to 109.98 in Asia today suggests recovery from Tuesday's low at 109.90 has ended and consolidation with downside bias remains for a re-test of said support, break would extend decline from February's 9-1/2 month peak at 122.22 to 109.63 but 109.54 should remain intact due to loss of momentum.
On the upside, only above 110.71 signals pullback has made a temporary bottom there and stronger retracement to 111.03, then 111.22.
There is a slew of U.S. data due today but one should pay particular attention to the release of U.S. final GDP figures at 13:30GMT.
Street forecasts for GDP and GDP deflator are 2.1% and 1.5% vs previous readings of 2.1% and 1.4% respectively.
