USD/JPY to test the 109.85 June high on a break of the 200-DMA at 108.40 – Commerzbank

USD/JPY remains confined in a narrow trading band, around 107.50, as it was unable to take over the 200-DMA at 108.40, which if broken would see the pair heading towards the 109.85 June high. On the other way, the 106.00 offers solid support, per Commerzbank.
