Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY is trading at 98.03 falling 0.38 as the JPY picks up momentum. The JPY seems to be benefiting from an overnight move in market sentiment toward risk off assets.

The Japanese yen strengthened against its major counterparts in the early Asian session on Tuesday after the country’s government lowered its economic assessment for the first time in ten months.

It noted that further slowdown of overseas economies and sharp fluctuations in the financial and capital markets due to high degree of uncertainty about the prospects of the Eurozone debt crisis are downside risks of the Japanese economy.

Investors were once again worried about the ongoing debt crisis in the EU which saw the JPY gain and the EUR falling in early morning trades.
