JPY futures: room for a probable squeeze higher

Published date: 17 May. 2019 | 09:32

Open interest in JPY futures markets dropped for yet another session on Thursday, this time by around 1.2K contracts. In the same line, volume resumed the downside and shrunk by nearly 31.8K contracts.

USD/JPY upside capped by 110.00
