USD/JPY shows another attempt to reach recent highs
FXStreet (Moscow) - USD/JPY opened at 107.11, and gradually moved up, currently reaching 107.30 high.
FOMC meeting ahead
It’s going to be a volatile day, as the scheduled for tonight FOMC meeting announcement may determine the direction of the pair for the nearest weeks. Since the shades of Yellen comments, and the statement text are hard to forecast, the initial reaction may be mixed with a possibility of sharp moves in both directions. The market expects there would be no clear comments on the term of the first rate hike, and this is the key reason the USD stopped refreshing new highs recently. If investors are wrong, the sharp rally targeting 109.00 area may be seen.
