USD/JPY breaks above 102.00

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The USD/JPY managed to rise past the 102.00 mark and hit fresh 3-week highs as the greenback gathers pace at the beginning of the American session.

The USD/JPY absorbed offers at the 102.00/04 zone, where the 100- and 200-day SMA converge, and climbed to a high of 102.11 before slowing a tad.

Latest string of US data had, little to say much, impact on the USD. At time of writing, the USD/JPY is trading at 102.05, 0.21% above its opening price.
