Today's FX session brings a strengthening of the US dollar, which puts tremendous pressure on the yen's quotations. U.S. 10-year bond yields today reached levels not seen since October 2008. The USD/JPY pair climbed to 22-year maximums and is heading towards the psychological level of 150. Japan's currency continues to be weighed down by the BoJ's dovish policy.
