USD/JPY near session highs despite miss on leading index

The US September leading index was forecast to show a fall of 0.3%, from a previous reading that was also a negative reading of -0.2%. It has just this minute been released at -0.5%, which was rather a miss on the downside. The reaction to this data has certainly not seen the dollar fall back. just ahead of the release the USD/JPY had lifted to a fresh session high at 150.15. it seems rather unfazed by this data, currently trading at 150.12
