- USD/JPY rose on Wednesday as dollar rose to session highs against the yen on Wednesday, extending its earlier gains after data showed U.S. existing home sales posted a surprise increase in May, soothing some concerns about a real estate slowdown.
- U.S. home resales unexpectedly rose in May to the third highest monthly level in a decade and a chronic inventory shortage pushed the median home price to an all-time high.
- The National Association of Realtors said on Wednesday existing home sales increased 1.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted rate of 5.62 million units last month.

- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 111.10, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 110.38.
