Yen

The pair dollar/yen growth was replaced by a sharp drop amid the "hawkish" tone absence in the Fed governor’s speech. However, sales only leveled the Japanese yen initial losses and the previous session closure the pair produced on the opening prices. The Federal Reserve speech in the Banking Committee Senate reduced expectations, concerning the interest rates increase in the middle of the year. It is obvious that the bulls were aimed at the 120th figure, but the Janet Yellen speech made its adjustments and after the mark of 119.25-119.45 short-term break, the pair dropped below this level.
