USD/JPY traded just within Tues's 142.215-3.545 range on Wed
Down first in risk-off/yen-on response to Fitch's US downgrade
New post-BoJ 10-year JGB yield highs made despite BoJ QE operation
Big ADP beat was the main driver for USD/JPY's Wed rebound
But ADP's dodgy correlation with NFP makes Fri's jobs report pivotal
No change in pricing in that Fed hikes likely peaked last week
And the Tsy yields rebound & USD rise were curtailed by stocks drop
Thur's claims and ISM non-mfg are key event risks prior to NFP Fri
Prices closer to June's 145.07 peak than Tsy-JGB spreads are to July high
