EUR/JPY Weekly Fundamental Analysis January 21 -25, 2013, ForecastIntroduction: This is one of the most popular crosses. The primary reason why EUR/JPY has rallied 11 percent over the past 3.5 months is because of US growth – not many people realize that the price action of EUR/JPY is directly correlated with how the US economy is doing. Weekly Analysis and Recommendations:
The EUR/JPY continued to trade well above the 1.33 level against the USD as politicians and lawmakers along with central bankers continued to talk up the economy and recovery in the EU. Although data has had very little to do or support to new forecasts and positive words, it seems that positive thoughts will translate to positive data. Across the world in Japan, recovery in Japan is hopefully going to be jump started with huge amounts of monetary stimulus and infrastructure projects. The EUR/JPY climbed over 1.20 on Thursday but closed the week slightly below as traders moved away from the euro after disappointing consumer data in the US moved traders back to risk off mode.
The euro gained versus the majority of its most-traded peers as Spain’s borrowing costs fell at a 4.5 billion-euro ($6 billion) sale of bonds, underscoring increased confidence in European debt markets. The Swiss franc dropped. The Japanese currency continued its longest stretch of weekly losses since 1989 amid bets the BOJ will decide to conduct open-ended asset buying to stoke inflation. The central bank meets Jan. 21-22.
