DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK
Update Time: 01 Jun 2015 00:54 GMT
EUR/USD - 1.0940
Euro's retreat after a brief rise to 1.1006 Friday suggests the correction from last Wednesday's fresh 1-month trough at 1.0819 has possibly ended there and consolidation with downside bias is seen.
However, only a break of 1.0867 support would confirm this view and bring resumption of decline from May's peak at 1.1467 to re-test said temporary low and then 1.0785 later.
On the upside, above 1.1006 would yield marginal gain but resistance at 1.1059/62 should remain intact.

Update Time: 02 Jun 2015 01:20 GMT
EUR/USD - 1.0927
Euro's erratic fall from last Friday's high of 1.1006 to 1.0887 yesterday suggests the correction from last Wednesday's fresh 1-month trough at 1.0819 has ended there and consolidation with downside bias remains, however, only a break of 1.0867 support would encourage for a re-test of said support and then resumption of decline from May's peak at 1.1467 to 1.0785 later.
On the upside, above 1.1006 would defer present bearishness on euro and yield marginal gain but resistance at 1.1059/62 should remain intact.

USD/JPY - 124.58
Dollar's intra-day retreat after a brief rise above Monday's fresh 12-1/2 year high at 124.92 to 125.07 suggests choppy trading would be seen but as long as support at 123.86 holds, bullishness remains for long-term uptrend from 2011 record low at 75.32 to resume after consolidation and above 125.07 would extend gain to 125.74 (Dec 2002 top) later this week.
On the downside, only a daily close below 123.33 (previous resistance, now support) would confirm a temporary top is made and shift risk to downside for a minor correction towards 122.78
