In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the USD/JPY pair rose slightly immediately after the release of the U.S. May durable goods orders report, which showed an increase to 1.8% from 1.7% the previous month.USD/JPY rose from 144.083 to 144.728, trading in a narrow range around the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.During today’s Asian session, the USD/JPY has seen increasing downward pressure around the 144.309 level, and on the 4-hour chart, it has already broken below the 20-period moving average. However, since it remains above the 10-period moving average on the daily chart, it will be worth watching to see if the direction becomes clearer during U.S. trading hours.
European currencies fell against the U.S. dollar as the euro dropped following yesterday’s release of the Eurozone’s May Producer Price Index (PPI), which fell to -1.5% year-over-year from 1.0% the previous month.The euro fell against the U.S. dollar from 1.0907 to 1.0850. On the 4-hour chart, the pair declined while forming lower highs. However, since it has not yet broken below the recent low of 1.0835, we will be watching to see if a rebound occurs at this support level.
