Technically, the DXY is range-bound, hovering between 104.80 and 105.20, with support at the 100-day and 200-day moving averages and resistance at 105.63 and 106.00.

USD/JPY: Soft US data offers a potential relief rally for JPY
Lacklustre US non-farm payrolls & ISM Services PMI for June has led to a further drop in US Treasury yields.
