- A Jiji report suggested that the gov't is considering lifting the state of emergency in Aichi, Gifu & Fukuoka prefectures.
- USD/JPY trades -5 pips at Y105.18 at typing. A break under Feb 4 low of Y104.98 would open up Jan 11 high of Y104.40, a recent breakout level. Bulls keep an eye on the aforementioned 200-DMA at Y105.56 & Feb 5 high of Y105.77, followed by the 1.50 projection of the Jan 6 - 11 swing at Y106.05.
