USDJPY rallied sharply on the back of higher-than-expected US CPI, pushing prices through near-term resistance to open the early May / early April highs of 109.70/96. This counters any downside signals evident in last week's trade through the trendline support at 108.44 (drawn off the Jan 6 low). A break of 109.70, May 3 high, would strengthen a bullish case and signal scope for a climb above 110.00.
