  • USD/JPY declined on Monday as U.S. political woes and lukewarm economic data pushed the dollar to multi-year lows and dampened expectations of another Federal Reserve rate hike this year.
     
  • Data on Friday showed growth in the world's largest economy picked up in the second quarter, but labour costs rose less than expected, stoking concerns that inflation will remain low.
     
  • Investors will keep a keen eye on second quarter labour data due on Wednesday. A weak report will likely add more pressure on the greenback.
     
  • The pair remains under bears control unless until it trades below 111.86 resistance level, therefore it is good to sell this pair on rallies.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 111.02, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 111.33.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 110.21, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 109.69.
