USD/JPY Moves North

The dollar seems to be gaining points against its peer, the Japanese Yen. The USD/JPY exchange rate reached a low pf 108.11 amid high volatility and political uncertainties with the introducing of the draft of new tariffs and trade changes coming out of the US.

As market grew worried, the US currency depreciated and the stock market pulled back. While equities still haven't recovered quiet as well, the US dollar is doing a good job in the recovery process.

The USD/JPY pair reached a high of 109.30 and is now trading very close to it. The pair might concentrate around this level until the announcement of the latest NFPs and jobs data scheduled to be released in less than an hour.
