FOREX: EURJPY Sharply Lower as Currencies Catch Up to Equity Weakness
FOREX
- The extension lower for major equity benchmarks has prompted a solid reversal for the greenback over the past 15 minutes, with EURUSD reversing the entirety of the day’s range to plumb new lows below the 1.04 handle. A bearish condition continues to highlight scope for a test of key support at 1.0335, the Nov 22 low and a bear trigger.
- Price action most impactful for EURJPY, as the Japanese yen benefits from the lower core yields, helping the cross to slide around 130 pips off the earlier session highs. Initial firm support for the cross lies at 162.34, the 20-day EMA. The pullback is considered technically corrective at this juncture.
