USD/JPY weakens slightly
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Japanese Yen has gained slightly, pushing the USD/JPY pair closer to 121.00 levels as we head closer to the Fed decision.
Weak Treasury yields keep USD under pressure
The weakness in the Treasury yields has kept the greenback under pressure ahead of the Fed meeting. The 10-year yield has weakened 2.2 basis points (bps) to 2.037%, while the 30-year yield has weakened 4.2 bps to 2.574%. The weak yields support the Japanese Yen. Consequently, the USD/JPY pair weakened from a high of 121.39 to trade at 121.15 levels.
Further losses could be seen of the US equity markets begin the day on a negative note ahead of the FOMC statement.
USD/JPY Technical Levels
The immediate resistance is seen at 121.50, above which the pair could rise to 122.00 levels. On the flip side, a break below 120.90 could drive the pair down to 120.50.120.40 levels.
