USD/JPY has been better bid on the US session and has recently popped circa 30 pips on news that Republican Senator Capito releasing a statement saying she will support the motion to proceed in respect to the House health care bill. However, there was no subsequent follow through and the major remains capped at aforementioned highs. There has been some confusion in the market resulting in a slowdown in dollar demand. At first, the Senate's procedural vote on health care bill was announced to have achieved the number of votes to pass. Subsequently, markets were expecting the debate on the House health care bill to get into motion, but the Republicans can't afford a "no-vote" and it has been rumoured that Murkowski and Collins both voted no - we await official results.
