​USD/JPY resumes its advance

USD/JPY once more attacks the ¥158.00 region and remains short-term bullish while Tuesday's low at ¥156.59 underpins.

Below it lies the 9 May high at ¥155.95 which may also offer support.

​AUD/USD fails to overcome resistance

​​On Tuesday AUD/USD failed to break through its $0.6644 to $0.6667 resistance area on a daily New York closing basis and reach its current May peak at $0.6714. Instead it gave back recent gains and now looks to be short term under pressure.

​​Minor support below $0.6644 is seen at the $0.6629 mid-May high.
