EUR/JPY now targets the 121.72/86 band
After three consecutive daily pullbacks, the cross is now attempting a rebound from weekly lows in the vicinity of the 121.00 handle.
US yields are bouncing off daily lows and are bolstering the selling mood in the Japanese safe haven, in turn lending support to the recovery in the EUR/JPY.
In the same line, final June inflation figures in the euro area came in a tad higher than the preliminary readings, showing headline consumer prices now rose at a monthly 0.2% and 1.3% from a year earlier. Core CPI, instead, matched the advanced readings at 1.1%.
Earlier in the day, ECB’s B.Coeure reiterated that risks in the euro region are still tilted to the downside.
Later in the NA session, the Fed will publish its Beige Book, which should shed further details on the recent performance of US regions.
