My day did not end well yesterday. In my ADVFN story, “How Will Weak US Economy Affect Us?” I warned of gloom and doom on the world economic scene as a result of a weak US first quarter.  I pointed to the Dow Jones, the S&P, and the Nasdaq all opening down following the release […]

Like other JPY pairs, the USD/JPY started the Asian session on bullish road, facing resistance at the 103.28 level.
