• On the data front ,Japan's service-sector inflation hit 3.0% in February,  keeping alive expectations of further interest rate hikes by the central bank.

• The BOJ hiked its short-term policy rate to 0.5% in January, expecting Japan to sustainably achieve its 2% inflation target, supported by strong wage growth.

•  At GMT 08.46,the dollar was up  0.18% at 150.15 against Japanese yen .
 
•  Immediate resistance is located at 150.94 (23.6%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 151.42(Higher BB).

•  Support is seen at 149.57(38.2%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 148.62(50%fib).
