The US Dollar maintains a bid tone and is testing 154.78 high.
The Yen remains weighed by interest rate differentials between the Fed and the BoJ.

The pair extended its recovery on Monday, following a spike lower last week, following news of the Israeli attack on Iran. Tehran downplayed the event, suggesting its will to avoid a direct confrontation with Tel Aviv, which the market has welcomed.
