On the eve of the dollar index USDX basket dipped by 0.4%, but the overall upward trend is still relevant, and I assume that this movement is a correction, not a reversal.

Forex. Currency pair yen dollar forecast for today USD / JPY 14.10.2016

The yield on US Treasury bonds begins adjusted downwards, which is a negative factor for the pair. However, I think that this is a temporary trend, as investors have no choice as to buy the pair on pullbacks. Speakers at this week Fed officials spoke of the inevitability of tighter monetary policy in the current year.
