Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY is holding at 96.92 up from yesterday. The euro continues to muster bits of strenght, on hopes of the ECB and on minor economic news. Yesterday, a day with little news and eco data, markets rallied on a successful bond auction in Italy and on some minor German data.

Although a new court case was launched yesterday in Germany which might defer the ruling of the legality of the EMS.

In Japan GDP tumbled to 0.3% which is weighing heavily on the yen.
