  • USD/JPY pair inched higher initially in European session up to 106.36, but declined slightly in the early US session after data showed US producer price index printed positive figures.
     
  • Producer price index for final demand increased 0.4 percent last month after rising 0.2 percent in April, the PPI slipped 0.1 percent after being unchanged in April.
     
  • Concerns over Britain’s referendum on its EU membership is set to increase the demand for safe haven assets like Japanese yen, therefore, it’s good to sell this pair on rallies.
