USD/JPY is trying to settle above the 151.00 level as traders focus on rising Treasury yields. The yield of 2-year Treasuries moved above the 4.05% level, while the yield of 10-year Treasuries climbed above the 4.20% level. BoJ maintains its ultra-dovish policy, so rising Treasury yields serve as a material bearish catalyst for the Japanese yen.
If USD/JPY settles above the 151.00 level, it will move towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 153.00 – 153.50 range.
EUR/USD rebounds from multi-week lows as traders take some profits off the table after the strong move. Today, traders will also focus on the comments from ECB President Lagarde, which may have a material impact on market dynamics.
A move above the 1.0850 level will push EUR/USD towards the nearest resistance level at 1.0900 – 1.0915.
AUD/USD gained ground, supported by rising demand for commodity-related currencies. Gold and silver are moving towards new highs, providing additional support to the Australian dollar.
In case AUD/USD manages to settle back above the support level at 0.6675 – 0.6685, it will head towards the nearest resistance level, which is located in the 0.6750 – 0.6760 range.
NZD/USD has also managed to rebound from multi-week lows. Traders are taking some profits off the table after the strong pullback.
If NZD/USD climbs above the 50 MA at 0.6073, it will move towards the resistance level at 0.6140 – 0.6150. RSI is in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional upside momentum in the case the right catalysts emerge.
