USDJPY SELLERS RETAIN CONTROL BELOW 111.70 LEVEL
The U.S dollar pair remains in a narrow trading range between 111.34 and 111.69 against the Japanese yen, with the yen under marginal pressure after weak Japanese retail sales numbers. The USDJPY pair and the broader market has looked past North Korea’s latest ballistic missile test on Wednesday. Price-action currently trades around the 111.55 level, ahead of the release of key third fiscal quarter GDP figures from the United States economy.
