Asia midday: Asia stocks rally on US-Japan trade deal; Nikkei hits 12-month high, WTI extends decline (Chart of the day)

The US dollar traded mixed, with risk-on currencies like the Kiwi and Aussie rising. Gold eased 0.2% after hitting a 5-week high, pressured by profit-taking and reduced safe-haven demand. Oil prices slipped for a fourth day, with WTI nearing key support at US$65.20 amid weak demand signals.

USD/JPY Technical: Bearish reversal below key 149.60 range resistance
USD/JPY’s 4.5% rally from 1 July to 16 July has hit a key resistance zone at 149.00–149.60, suggesting a potential reversal. Bearish momentum is building, with RSI divergence and a breakdown below short-term channel support. A pullback toward 145.85 and 145.20 is likely unless 149.60 is breached, which would open the door for gains toward 150.40 and 151.15.
