to lose ground following the general recovery of the dollar, renewing this
month lows at 1.1254 spot. The dollar index now trading at multi-day highs. The pair will remain under pressure ahead in
the session, as the final March’s CPI figures in the euro area are due ahead of
key inflation figures in the US economy tracked by the CPI. Now pair is trading
at close to today's low, at 1.1260, with the support level located at 1.1181
and resistance level at 1.1361.
USD/JPY pair is seen consolidating strong gains, near its
6-days high, witnessed over the past two trading session and now awaits fresh
impetus for the next leg higher. The major managed to regain footing after poor
US retail sales and PPI data. However, the extension of the rally on the Asian
indexes, particularly Japan, keeps the sentiment buoyed and thus, diminishes
the safe-haven bids for the yen. Today traders will keep eye on US CPI and
jobless claims report due later in the NY session. Currently pair keep trading at
109.45 near 6 days high marked at 109.55. Support and resistance levels are
located at around 108.65 and 110.11
