Yen and USD take a breather as Dow futures gain 62 pts. No major US data releases for the day or the week, which will test the bulls resolve to add on to USD weakness. GBPUSD requires a breach above $1.5380, while EURUSD faces pressure at $1.3570. NZD seeks to exploit the rally in equities by testing the 57.60 yen and 59.60 vs USD. Note that the preferred play on risk is to sell USD than sell JPY.
