EUR / JPY bounces away from 128.50
After a brief dip to fresh 4-month lows near 128.50 on Tuesday, the EUR / JPY managed to regain buying interest thanks to the moderate recovery in US yields and the eventual selling bias of the Japanese yen.
In fact, US 10-year yields are back to the smile and 1.28% region after bottoming out at levels last seen in February, around 1.13% on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the dollar shows some volatility and fuels the rally in the single currency ahead of the ECB’s key event on Thursday.
On the latter, the consensus among operators expects the central bank to maintain or even improve the current mega-accommodative stance of monetary conditions in the euro area.
