Trading recommendations
To go short bears need to break below the level 1.3590. This breakthrough opens the way to 1.3575, 1.3535.
Pound
The pound has lost upward momentum and continues to consolidate. The data recently published confirmed that the business activity index in the Britain manufacturing sector was 57.0 pp in May, as predicted by analysts. However, a separate report showed a reduction in the approved applications number for mortgages that disappointed investors. The statistics say that the economy continues to recover, but in some areas this recovery is still quite vulnerable.

Yen
In the absence of important macroeconomic statistics publication from the U.S. and Japan follow the trading dynamics on the stock exchanges. The investors remain optimistic about the risky assets, which will maintain a moderate demand for the dollar/yen pair. The quotations growth above 102 figure refers to the fact that the importers hedge their trading risks and can quietly observe the quotations growth to 103 figure. In this area we expect a significant offer that will put pressure the pair.
