USD/JPY has been quite volatile and corrective between the price range of 112.00 to 110.50 for a few days. USD has been quite impulsive with the recent economic reports, but failed to gain such momentum against JPY in the process as JPY has been quite stronger with the economic reports as well.
After the USD NFP report, USD attracted good amount of sentiment throughout other majors. Ahead of PPI and CPI reports to be published this week, today, USD JOLTS Job Opening report is going to be published which is expected to increase to 6.74M from the previous figure of 6.64M and IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism is also expected to increase to 57.2 from the previous figure of 56.4.
