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, downward pressure on USD/JPY has intensified around the 144.309 level, and on the 4-hour chart, the pair has already broken below the 20-period MA. However, since it remains above the 10-period MA on the daily chart, we will be watching to see if the direction becomes clearer during U.S. trading hours.
European currencies fell against the U.S. dollar, with the euro dropping after the release of the Eurozone’s May Producer Price Index (PPI), which showed a year-over-year decline from 1.0% in the previous month to -1.5%.The euro fell against the U.S. dollar from 1.0907 to 1.0850. On the 4-hour chart, the decline occurred as the price formed lower highs. However, since it has not yet broken below the recent low of 1.0835, attention will focus on whether a rebound occurs at this support level.
