USD/JPY slides towards 144 after JOLTS data reveals falling vacancies

The June JOLTS- jobs openings numbers stood at 8.184 million in June. The July data which has just been released was expected to show only a slight reduction, to around 8.1 million. It has actually a number of just 7.6 million. Earlier today the price action in the USD/JPY had been pretty choppy in between 144.75 and 145.15 and as noted there were a number of swings around that range. It was right on session lows just ahead of the JOLTS data. The reaction to the latest US JOLTS data has seen the dollar fall to fresh session lows underneath 144.25, as the dollar everywhere takes a hit. The USD/JPY is currently trading at 144.23
