• USD/JPY tracks oil prices lower following Iran-Israel ceasefire announcement
• Note that lower oil prices typically benefits the yen (net importer of oil)
• Yen also underpinned by dovish remarks by Fed's Bowman (typically hawkish)

• Support at 145 holds for now (200-hour MA)
• Monday's high at 148 likely marks the interim top for the pair
