USD/JPY : Technical Analysis
2012-10-11 12:10:01 (читать в оригинале)
Overview:
USD/JPY is trading with bearish bias. The rate is undermined by selling of yen crosses amid diminished risk tolerance as worries are increasing over global economic slowdown and Standard & Poor's has downgraded Spain's credit rating cut to one level above junk status. USD/JPY also weighed by Japan exporter sales; lower U.S. Treasury yields. But USD/JPY losses tempered by demand from Japan importers.
