Japanese Yen: Consolidation near resistance band against US Dollar – Societe Generale

Societe Generale’s Kenneth Broux describes USD/JPY consolidating after failing again at resistance near 162.80. The pair is seen in a narrow range, with key support at 160.40 tied to the March peak and upside projections towards 163.70/164.40 if resistance breaks. Short-term moves are linked to rising JGB yields, Oil and GPIF-related headlines.
