FxWirePro: USD/JPY subdued below 113 handle, Yen's safe haven demand on the rise on N.Korea headlines

  • Japanese Yen's safe haven demand on the rise in the Asian session following North Korea’s latest missile adventure.
     
  • North Korean news agency, KCNA cites Kim Jong Un as saying - the country's strategic power has been elevated with possession of atomic, hydrogen bombs and ICBM.
     
  • China and South Korea favor talks to lower tensions, but the US has made it clear that negotiations could happen only if Kim halts his nuclear program.
     
  • USD/JPY down 0.32% as we write, remains subdued below 113 handle, likely to be driven by geopolitical news.
     
  • Technically, the pair is holding 5-DMA support at 112.82, break below could see drag upto 111.75 (100-DMA).
     
  • Focus also on FOMC minutes due later in the US session amidst an otherwise lacklustre market.
     

Support levels - 112.82 (5-DMA), 111.75 (100-DMA), 111.70 (50-DMA)

Resistance levels - 113, 113.79 (May 16 high), 114, 114.63 (61.8% Fib retrace of 118.662 to 108.130 fall)
