USD/JPY: On 120 ahead of Nonfarm Payrolls

FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/JPY is currently trading at 120.14 with a high of 120.19 and a low of 120.04.

USD/JPY has held on to the 120 handle after some movement in both directions overnight with the Yen taken down as low 120.38 vs the greenback before falling back onto 119.95 in late European trade.

The main event of course lies within the US shift and comes as Nonfarm Payrolls.
