Today's daily charts for USD/JPY, CAD/JPY and CHF/JPY

USD/JPY Daily

After coiling and failing to break above the June ’15 trendline, JPY is attempting to break the March trendline.
The bias is for a move towards 111.38 whilst 113.24 caps as resistance.
Expect the pair to be sensitive to today’s NFP report and any US-China trade headlines.

CAD/JPY Daily

A bearish breakout has invalidated a bullish channel.
We’d like to see prices consolidate before its next leg lower. Look for 84.61 or the lower trendline to cap as resistance.
A break beneath 83.63 brings the 82.17 and 80.54 lows into focus. Keep an eye on CAD employment figures alongside NFP.

CHF/JPY Daily

Near-term momentum favours bullish setups within the ascending channel.
However, a stronger downtrend has dominated momentum since a bearish pinbar high.
Target the 114.41 high or upper trendline whilst within the channel or wait for a break of 112.86 to confirm resumption of its downtrend.

Gold trims intraday gains to $5,000 as US inflation data loom

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains heading into the European session. Traders now look forward to the release of the US consumer inflation figures for more cues about the Fed policy path. The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.

US CPI data set to show modest inflation cooling as markets price in a more hawkish Fed

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish January’s Consumer Price Index data on Friday, delayed by the brief and partial United States government shutdown. The report is expected to show that inflationary pressures eased modestly but also remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
