  • USD/JPY losses momentum and trades around a flat around 120.63, after hitting session highs at 120.98

  • The Nikkei Flash Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose from 51.0 in September to a preliminary 52.5 in October

  • However, the downside remains restricted as the persisting risk-on rally in Asian equities continues to support the USD
