That’s helped to give the dollar a shove down with USDJPT now down to 112.15 from 112.40.
EURUSD has nudged into 1.180, and cable is feeling out 1.3200 again. Tax chatter is getting the blame for a lot of this as more wars of words kick off around Trump and whether he’ll get the votes for his tax plan. Never a dull moment eh?
Should support into 112.00 not be sufficient to hold this move, 111.75/80 might offer a bit more. Resistanceinto 112.30/40 is now likely to show up.
