USD/JPY extends declines below 102.50

FXStreet (San Francisco) - The US Dollar is extending its rejection from 1-month high at 102.80 against the Japanese Yen and now it is testing sub-102.50 levels.

The pair is reacting slightly down following the weaker than expected ADP employment report that showed 179K new jobs created in May.

Currently, USD/JPY is trading at 102.53, up 0.03% on the day, having posted a daily high at 102.81 and low at 102.48. The FXStreet OB/OS Index is reflecting neutral hourly conditions, while the FXStreet Trend Index is slightly bullish.
