USD/JPY is back down to near flat levels around 150.17, after having touched a high of 150.43 in Asia trading. Meanwhile, the antipodean currencies are pushing to session highs right now despite a lack of risk enthusiasm. AUD/USD is up 0.3% to 0.6558 and contesting its 100-day moving average of 0.6541 while NZD/USD is up 0.3% to 0.6168 and contesting daily resistance around 0.6150-73 – both highlighted here earlier.
In other markets, gold is also up another 0.4% to $2,026 as the rebound continues while stocks are struggling with S&P 500 futures now down 0.4% on the day.
