USD/JPY trades at 10-DMA
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The USD/JPY pair finds itself stuck around 10-DMA level located at 118.00 even though the labor department in the US reported a solid weekly jobs data.
Exhaustion around 118.00 levels
The pair has repeatedly failed to extend gains above 118.00 levels since the previous session. Moreover, the short term average resistance in the 117.80-118.00 region, coupled with the weakness in the Treasury yields has effectively capped gains in the pair around 118.00 levels.
