Analysis and Recommendations: The EUR/JPY is trading at 132.33 down by 29 points as traders review the release of industrial production numbers this
The EUR/JPY is trading at 132.33 down by 29 points as traders review the release of industrial production numbers this morning along with a Tertiary index. The annual industrial output grew at a slower-than-expected pace of 3.6% in September, dampened by a slower expansion in the mining sector.
Also, the retail inflation climbed to a four-month high in October as food prices escalated on supply deficiency in pulses. Consumer price index based inflation, the primary gauge of central bank, rose to 5% in October versus 4.41% in the previous month.
Asian shares are trading lower after a sharp decline in commodity prices on concerns that sluggish global growth may worsen the supply glut, while the investors remain edgy that the US Federal Reserve may hike interest rates in the month of December. Meanwhile, crude oil prices hit two-and-a-half-month lows on Thursday on oversupply glut.
The euro has seen a sharp fall against the dollar within a short period of time, reaching similar oversold levels on technical indicators.
Risk reversals, a gauge of market positioning and sentiment, are close to May levels, especially in the front end, signaling that traders assign similar probabilities on trend continuation.
What is different this time is that the ECB recently stepped up its rhetoric to further ease monetary policy.
