  • USD/JPY inched higher in the US session  as strong U.S. economic data buoyed the dollar and further cemented the case for hiking rates in December.
     
  • U.S. private employers stepped up hiring in November much more than expected and consumer spending increased last month, giving more ammunition to the Federal Reserve for a rate increase.
     
  • Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 112.63 which should limit further decline and bring rebound towards higher levels in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 113.83, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 114.00.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 113.21, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 112.63.
