FxWirePro: USD/JPY maintains bullish bias with focus on 112.50 levels

  • USD/JPY inched higher on Wednesday as the dollar rallied across the board after stronger-than-expected U.S. private payrolls data boosted expectations of robust jobs report on Friday and possibly a faster pace of interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve.
     
  • U.S. companies added 263,000 workers in March, suggesting a further tightening of the labor market, payrolls processor ADP said. The figure was the most since December 2014 and far exceeded expectations for a gain of just 187,000.
     
  • The ADP report drew investors back into the market after a period of range-bound trading amid worries about President Donald Trump's ability to deliver on his policy plans after a recent legislative setback.
     
  • Further downside is expected to be limited for this pair as strong support at 110.73 is set to limit downside and push the pair towards higher side.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 112.08, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 112.55.
     
  • To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 111.15 a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 110.73.
