Analysis and Recommendations: The EUR/JPY added 4 points but bounced up and down in the Asian session with no specific direction as global volumes remain
The EUR/JPY added 4 points but bounced up and down in the Asian session with no specific direction as global volumes remain low after the US holiday and traders enjoying the global black Friday sales. The European Central Bank, which meets Dec. 3, has signaled that it stands ready to expand its bond purchase program to combat weak inflation. In Japan, investors are hopeful the central bank will extend stimulus, after minutes show officials are open to further action if inflation targets slip out of reach.
This morning data showed that consumer prices in Japan fell slightly for the third month in a row in October. The figures indicated that sustained inflation remains elusive despite the central bank’s efforts to spark price growth. Some economists have forecast that flat lining inflation may force the bank and some of its peers to ease again.
