The dollar is experiencing problems in the formation of growth against the yen

The dollar was supported against the yen last week, ahead of a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen. But after her speech the dollar again came under pressure.

Overall statements of the President of the Federal Reserve were favorable for the dollar, but it was not enough for the formation of a stable uptrend in the pair USD/JPY. The Japanese currency is highly dependent on the dynamics of yields on US Treasuries. Yellen's speech gave no clear idea how many times this year interest rates will be increased and with what pace. This information was not enough and 10 year bonds rose by above 2.5 percent. Anyway bullish trend in USD/JPY looks extremely hard.

In the area between 114 and 115 yen for dollar there are active sellers. We must not forget that in Japan the new fiscal year begins on April 1. Before that there is support for the Japanese currency.
