The EUR/JPY gained 14 pips as both currencies soared today against the US dollar. The pair is trading at 129.45 after the BoJ held rates this morning and yesterday’s release of FOMC minutes and Mr. Bernanke’s speech. The dollar dropped to session lows against the euro and yen in late New York trade on Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said highly accommodative monetary policy is needed for the foreseeable future.
The Bank of Japan held rates and policy, but said that they see positive changes in the economy and that things were moving in the right direction. Traders are waiting for the press conference later today. Europe remains upset after Greek unemployment reports at record highs this morning, and upset in Luxembourg politics with Prime Minister Juncker resigning, Portugal politics remain disturbing, all of this is weighing on the euro which is likely to tumble after markets correct for the over reaction to the Fed’s yesterday.
