Wednesday, June 15, 2016 2:00 PM UTC
- USD/JPY pair inched higher initially in European session up to 106.36, but declined slightly in the early US session after data showed US producer price index printed positive figures.
- Producer price index for final demand increased 0.4 percent last month after rising 0.2 percent in April, the PPI slipped 0.1 percent after being unchanged in April.
- Concerns over Britain’s referendum on its EU membership is set to increase the demand for safe haven assets like Japanese yen, therefore, it’s good to sell this pair on rallies.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 107.67, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 108.00.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 105.90, a break below this level will open the gates towards next level at 105.53.
