The dollar strengthened against major currencies amid increased uncertainty. The growth of the exchange rate is especially noticeable in pairs with yen and euro, which reflects the vulnerability of Japan and Europe due to their dependence on energy imports. Market participants, according to analysts, are in the waiting mode: possible escalation of the conflict in the Middle East may provoke capital outflow to safe assets. At the same time, the reaction on the U.S. government bond market was muted - yields only slightly increased, which indicates restraint, even in current conditions.Technically, in the area of 147.60-148.60 pair USD/JPY may meet resistance in the form of sellers' activity.
