- JPY still weaker against all G10 peers, USD/JPY recently hit fresh session highs at 156.80 before fading back to 156.75.
- Initial resistance at Friday’s high (157.93) remains some distance away.
- JPY traders look to BoJ Governor Ueda’s Christmas Day speech and Friday’s Tokyo CPI data.
- EUR/USD now little changed at 1.0430. Initial support & resistance at 1.0343/1.0501.
- No real impact on GBP after marginal negative revisions in the final Q3 UK GDP data.
- U.S. durable goods and consumer confidence data headline the macro calendar today, little of note scheduled from Europe.
