Sun Lei emphasized that this meeting was not a suitable forum for discussing the South China Sea issue, but China had to clarify its solemn position regarding erroneous claims. The "South China Sea Arbitration Case" violates the principle of "state consent." The "arbitral tribunal" exceeded its authority and rendered a wrongful judgment; its "award" is illegal and invalid. The "arbitration case" is a political provocation disguised as law, aimed at denying Chinas territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea. China has never accepted or recognized this "award," and Chinas territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea are unaffected by it under any circumstances.The UK unemployment rate was 4.46% in May, up from 4.40% in the previous month.Switzerlands trade balance in May was 6.11 billion Swiss francs, compared with 3.098 billion Swiss francs in the previous month.

USD/JPY Price Analysis: To consolidate as a doji near the YTD highs near 125.70 looms

  • Despite its strong association with US Treasury yields, the USD/JPY trades in a range of 125.30 to 70.

  • Forecast for the USD/JPY exchange price: Although the bias remains upward, a doji near the year-to-date highs might pave the way for lower prices.

 

As the Asian Pacific day begins, USD/JPY is practically flat, up 0.05 percent, but still short of the YTD highs near 125.77, as Tuesday's price action formed a doji, implying indecision. The USD/JPY is now trading at 125.48.

 

On Tuesday, the USD/JPY hovered above 125.45 but fell rapidly on the release of mixed US inflation readings, albeit hotter than expected; the numbers were in line with forecasts.

USD/JPY Forecast: Technical Price

The USD/JPY is now trending upward, as indicated by the daily chart. A doji near the YTD highs, on the other hand, may pave the way for a correction down.

 

Meanwhile, the USD/JPY 1-hour chart indicates the pair has established a double top, but the pair may stabilize in the 125.30-77 range after breaking over 125.35.

 

The initial upward resistance for the USD/JPY would be 125.56. A break of the latter would reveal the convergence of the YTD high and the R1 daily pivot point near 125.77-80. Once cleared, 126.00 would be the next line of defense for JPY bulls.

 

On the other hand, the initial level of support for the USD/JPY would be the confluence of the 50-hour simple moving average (SMA) and the daily pivot at 125.28-30. A strong break would pave the way to the S1 daily pivot level of 124.81, followed by the 100-hour SMA level of 124.64.
