- Japanese Yen among worst G10 performers after BoJ status quo.
- US Dollar mixed between higher yields and risk sentiment.
- USD/JPY attempts recovery, still limited below the 20-day SMA.
The USD/JPY moved off daily highs during the American session on Friday, pulling back under 130.00. The pair peaked at 130.60, the highest level in two days. The greenback weakened late on Friday amid an improvement in risk appetite.
Regarding economic data, on Friday the National Association of Realtors said US Existing Home sales fell to 4.02 million (annual rate) in December, above the market consensus of 3.95 million. Earlier, Japan reported that the Core Consumer Price Index in December rose 4.0% from a year earlier, the highest level in 41 years.
The trend in USD/JPY is still bearish, although it has been moving sideways during the last five days, in a wide range between the 127.50 area and the 20-day Simple Moving Average near 131.00. The mentioned line has become a critical dynamic resistance. If the Dollar manages to break above, a profound recovery seems likely.
