EUR/JPY Fundamental Analysis October 15, 2014 Forecast

Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY is trading at 136.41 gaining 17 points in the Asian session as the euro continued to gain momentum with little in the way of supporting data.  The greenback rose for the third time in four days versus the euro as analysts predict European data today will show industrial production slumped in August. The Tokyo financial markets tried to take stock of recent developments after the Japanese markets were closed on Monday for a public holiday.

Weak signals from Germany, the euro zone’s largest economy, and signs of uneven growth in China have contributed to recent global growth concerns.

Expected divergence between U.S. monetary policy and those of the euro zone and Japan was a key ingredient fuelling the dollar’s surge to a two-year high versus the euro and six-year peak against the yen at the start of the month.

With Germany’s economic outlook and its potential impact on the Fed’s views on the global economy in recent focus, the currency market will scrutinize Germany’s ZEW sentiment index and euro zone industrial output due later in the session.
