• Prior 57.1
  • Prices paid 58.0 vs 58.0 exp. Prior 59.5
  • Employment 58.1 vs 58.4 exp. Prior 58.2
  • New orders 66.7 vs 63.4 prior

That’s enough to send USD/JPY through 105 to 105.05

New orders take a nice jump to the highest since April 2004. No worries over prices and a slight slip in employment is certainly nothing to worry about.
