JPY under pressure as equities rally
The safe haven Japanese Yen came under pressure as the uptick in the Asian equities stabilized the risk sentiment, resulting in a 1% gain in the Euro Stoxx 50 futures. On similar lines, the EUR is under pressure as well.
However, the uptick in the USD/JPY is sharp, hence the EUR/JPY cross jumped above the hourly 200-MA. As of now, the pair is trading around 128.13.
