USD/JPY has continued with the recovery of the 24th May highs at 112.12 and got through the 111.70 resistance and 1st June highs overnight. The dollar was making a come back in the US session with yields higher in the 10-year benchmark supporting a recovery within risk-on markets.

The theme stays with the FOMC's upbeat tone and rate hike last week vs the BoJ that continues to expand its stimulus without there being a realistic timeline for tapering at this stage.
