Japan released the 30-y Bond Auction and the US will publish Natural Gas Storage, Factory Orders m/m, Unemployment Claims, Trade Balance and Challenger Job Cuts y/y. This means both USD and JPY are strengthening; this is why, today we decided to analyze USD/JPY chart to see the effect of what has happened on this forex pair.
