New Phase of Dollar Storm: USD/JPY highest since 2008,

Towards the US session, the dollar made a fresh surge across the board. After USD/JPY stormed above 100, it now broke above the April 2009 peak of 101.44 and is now trading at around 1.0170. It is now trading at the highest level since October 2008.

AUD/USD got another push and is now struggling to hold on to parity and already fell to 1.0004. The line could break soon.

GBP/USD shows some strength (which is justified according to recent data), and manages to cling to the 1.54 line it lost earlier. Also EUR/USD is still giving a fight around 1.30.

As aforementioned: Fasten your seat belts, more turbulence ahead.
