Yen stronger


The “safe haven” yen started the week with excellent performance and is extending gains against the basket of the major currencies. The Japanese currency hit a 3-year high against the euro and the pound, and against the US dollar and rose to 6-week peak. The tension on markets is growing amid the intensifying fears on Brexit and the upcoming Fed meeting, which will be held on 14 and 15 June.
USD/JPY is extending the downward movement for the forth consecutive session. Yesterday the pair formed a bottom at ¥105.73 but closed the day slightly higher at ¥106.19.Today the pair is trading 0.44% lower at ¥105.76. Technically the outlook remains bearish in nearest term as long as the pair is below ¥106 mark. The intraday resistance is located at ¥106.50 and support is seen at ¥105.65.
