EUR/JPY inches lower
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/JPY pair eased from the session high, threatening to fall below 131.00, after the release of an upbeat German IFO data.
EUR/JPY: Buy the rumor, Sell the fact
The pair had rallied from the low of 130.58 to a session high of 131.22 in anticipation of a better-than-expected German IFO data. Expectations were high since the flash PMI report released on Tuesday showed German private sector activity at multi-month highs in March. Consequently, the markets priced-in the upbeat IFO data in advance, leading to a drop post the actual print hit the wires. All three indices – business climate, current assessment, and expectations index registered a growth.
EUR/JPY Technical Levels
The immediate support is seen at 130.80 (hourly 50-MA), under which losses could be extended to 130.04 (hourly 100-MA). On the flip side, a break above 131.22, could see the pair re-test 131.49 levels.
