- USD/JPY rose on Monday as dollar rallied on news Hillary Clinton would not face criminal charges related to her use of a private email server, boosting her chances of winning the U.S. presidential election.
- Also helping the dollar were expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise rates in December, a view reinforced by strong jobs growth in the United States.
- Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 103.66 which should limit further decline and bring rebound towards higher levels in the short term.

- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 104.00, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 103.66.
