EUR/JPY off lows ahead of US session

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/JPY pair recovered from the low of 137.97 to trade at 138.32 levels as market driven sell-off in the EUR halted ahead of the US session.

EUR/JPY: heading for a weekly loss

The pair is likely to suffer a weekly loss after having clocked gains for two consecutive weeks. The fall witnessed this week was largely driven by a dip in German yields from September 2014 highs and Merkel’s comments.

The pair turned lower from the high of 138.98 earlier today after German chancellor Merkel termed strengthening Euro as a hindrance to effective reforms in Spain and Ireland. However, the sell-off halted at the low of 137.97 as short EUR positions are squared off ahead of the weekend.
