FXstreet.com (San Francisco) - After peaking at fresh monthly highs in the 79.40 zone today, USDJPY is set to close above the 100- day EMA for the first time since July 5 and is set to record a fourth straight day of gains, last at 79.30 vs. 79.00.

"Most of the shift higher in USDJPY has come on the back of the rise in US interest rates, which has put significant upward pressure on USJN 2 year yields and USDJPY," explains Camilla Sutton, CFA, CMT, Chief Currency Strategist at Scotiabank. "We established a long USDJPY trade on Monday and continue to target a nearterm test of 80.00."
