USD/JPY un-moved at 101.25 after US economic data
Following the release of US economic data, the USD/JPY pair erased all of its tepid gains and is now trading absolutely flat around 101.25-30 band.
Despite of its sharp reversal from weekly high touched on Monday, the pair has found strong support near 101.00 handle.
The pair, however, failed to gain any traction from mostly in-line with expected weekly jobless claims and an unexpected rise in import price index.
