In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 111.50, with the USD trading 0.15% higher against the JPY from yesterday’s close.

Overnight data showed that Japan’s Nikkei services PMI declined to a level of 52.0 in March, compared to a reading of 52.3 in the prior month.

The pair is expected to find support at 111.30, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 111.09. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 111.62, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 111.73.
