Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY climbed to trade at 101.37 as the JPY weakened on possibilities of stimulus and lackluster eco data. Domestically, Japanese officials continue to have to deal with yen strength, the euro area crisis and the slowdown in China. Traditionally, the best grounds for Japanese intervention are the G7 admonishment against excessive volatility. However, that claim, which Japanese officials have resurrected now, simply does not apply.

With the S&P downgrade of Spain, markets are waiting for an official request for aid, which will help support the euro.

Tomorrow is also a big day for Chinese data and also hopes of stimulus from the PBoC.
