USD/JPY is scoring through resistance

FXstreet.com (London) - USD/JPY is attempting to move higher while the Foreign Bond Investment data printed Yen 65.5B and in Japan Stocks, Yen 368.7B.

Else where, the market got the beige book from the US when the Federal Reserve said gains in manufacturing, technology and housing fuelled “modest to moderate” economic growth from early October through mid-November.
