USD/JPY Weekly uptrend opportunity based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
- EVENT: Friday, October 8 at 01:30 pm GMT+1 - The U.S. Non-farm Payroll (NFP) figures for September. The last month, a sharp decrease of the number of newly employed (235,000) was posted. This time, an increase of 500,000 jobs is expected, which would be positive for the dollar;
- Rising US government bond yields push the dollar against the yen, as this currency pair is very sensitive to interest rate differential between the two countries, the U.S. and Japan;
- The currency pair is in a (short-term) uptrend that may continue.
