. USD/JPY - 101.55.. Despite dlr's initial gain to 102.36 last Tue, weakness in the Nikkei n falling U.S. treasury yields triggered broad-based buying of yen, the pair fell to a near 2-month trough of 101.31 b4 staging a recovery.
. On the daily picture, dlr's brief drop to 101.31 suggests the broad side-ways move inside recent established broad range of 101.32-103.02 has possibly ended with a downside break, a firm breach of 101.31/32 sup wud add credence to this bearish view, then decline fm 104.13 (Apr's high) wud pressure dlr twd 2014 bottom at 100.76 in Feb., below there anytime wud confirm MT decline fm Jan's 5-year peak at 105.45 has finally resumed n yield weakness twd 99.60 in Jun, this is a 'natural' 50% r of the LT intermediate uptrend fm 93.75-105.45. So selling dlr on recovery is the way to go (our weekly strategy is currently holding a short position). Only abv 102.36 prolongs consolidation, risks gain twd 103.02.

Dollar retreated after meeting renewed selling at 101.60 in Asian morning on Tuesday suggests the recovery from Monday's fresh 3-1/2 month high at 101.10 has possibly ended and erratic decline from April's high at 104.13 should resume for weakness to said level, below would encourage for a re-test of this year's low at 100.76 (February).

USD/JPY - 101.25.. Breaking news on Reuters, BoJ has kept its rate unchanged as widely expected.
Following are the accompanied statements :
BoJ keeps views on exports unchanged, saying they have recently leveled off more or less;
CAPEX increasingly moderately;
BoJ revises up assessment on capital expenditure;
Economy continues to recover moderately as a trend, keeps assessment unchanged.

USD/JPY - 101.25 .. The greenback met renewed selling at 101.60 (Asia) on Tuesday n ratcheted lower to 101.19 in NY b4 trading sideways.
Offers are now tipped at 101.45-60 with stops seen above 101.70.
On the downside, some bids are located above 101.10 with mixture of bids and stops seen at 101.00 level.
New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley said on Monday that 'the economy was poised for stronger growth and inflation should "drift upwards" towards the Fed's 2 percent goal but a swift climb in inflation was unlikely.'
Today's focus is on Bank of Japan rate decision at around 03:00-03:30GMT. The Bank of Japan is widely expected to keep monetary policy steady, however, economists are expecting BOJ may raise its assessment on capital expenditure, reassured by growing evidence the economy can withstand the pain from a sales tax hike without additional monetary stimulus.
Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will deliver speech after the rate decision.
Market players expected Kuroda will reiterate his optimism that Japan is on course to meet the bank's 2% inflation target and may dampen already diminishing market expectations of near-term monetary easing.
BoJ will release its monetary policy statement at 06:30GMT.
Data to be released on Wednesday:
Australia Wedspac consumer confidence, Japan trade data, BoJ rate decision, BoJ monetary policy statement; euro zone current account, consumer confidence, BoE minutes, BoE MPC vote outcome, U.K. retail sales, FOMC minutes for April 29-30 meeting.

GBP/USD - 1.6913... BoE releases its meeting minutes, which state 'MPC voted 9-0 to keep rates unchanged; for some MPC members, decision on whether to raise rates becoming more balanced; all members agree need to see more evidence of slack reducing before raising rates; considerable uncertainty n range of views about BoE's 1-1.5% of GDP estimate of slack; cud be argued that the more gradual the intended rise in rates, the earlier BoE needs to start; but premature rise in rates cud also risk a substantial cost in lost output; raising rates slowly carries greater risk of housing mkt imbalances, but mitigating this is FPC role; sterling above top of post-crisis range, mkt contacts note due to stronger growth in UK than elsewhere; nearly all sterling appreciation likely to be passed into lower prices, but firms may instead increase profit margins.'
Cable edges higher ahead of Asian lunch break in tandem with eur/usd. Sterling was bot broadly at European open on Tue as st specs were looking for U.K. Apr inflation data to show a small increase. Although cable briefly jumped to 1.6870 (Reuters) after CPI ticked higher abv prev. reading of 1.6% to 1.8% (consensus was 1.7%), however, profit-taking quickly emerged, price retreated to 1.6822 at NY open n ratcheted higher to 1.6849 b4 moving narrowly in NY afternoon.
Although Asian traders are on the sideline as market keenly awaits the release of BoE MPC minutes n the Apr retail sales, the retail sales data are expected to show strg growth (MoM ex-auto forecast is 0.5% n YoY ex-auto is 5.4% vs prev. readings of -0.4% %& 4.2% resp.), so cable is likely to maintain a biddish tone into the figure n we may well see a repeat of y'day's price action i.e briefly higher n then coming off after the release.
Bids are noted at 1.6830-20 n more below with stops reported below 1.6800. Offers are tipped at 1.6860/70 n more abv with some stops touted abv 1.6900.
