EUR/JPY stabilizing below 131.00

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After testing the boundaries of 131.00 the figure on Wednesday, EUR/JPY is now trading within a narrow range around 130.80.

EUR/JPY attention to ECB

The cross is fading part of the recent significant advance to levels just shy of the 131.00 handle today, as market participants remain cautious ahead of the key ECB meeting due later during the European afternoon.

Some sort of recovery in EUR has recently allowed the cross to regain ground lost following the multi-month drop to the mid-129.00s last week, although the bullish attempt seems to have run out of steam near the 131.00 mark pending cues from today’s outcome of the ECB gathering.

EUR/JPY significant levels

The cross is down 0.03% at 130.77 and a break below 129.72 (low Nov.25) would open the door to 126.85 (low Mar.13) and finally 126.05 (low Apr.14). On the other hand, the next hurdle lines up at 131.84 (23.6% Fibo of 139.09-129.61) ahead of 132.25 (high Nov.19) and then 133.33 (55-day sma).

Australia’s deficit widen worse than expectation on mining export decline

Data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics today showed Australia's trade balance in the red with a deficit of $3.3 billion in October, worse than the $2.4 billion deficit estimated by economists. It also stayed way above the $2.4 billion deficit recorded in September. The primary factor that led to the widening of trade balance was a sharp decline in mining export volumes. Exports rose three per cent in the month, while imports were flat.
