EUR/JPY dips to fresh 3-week lows on Greek woes
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The shared currency accelerated losses versus the Japanese yen in the European session, sending EUR/JPY to fresh three week lows on the 133 handle, mainly after Greece's interior minister announced on Sunday that the country would probably not be able to make it's repayments to IMF which spurred euro selling across the board.
EUR/JPY drops from 133.84
Currently, the EUR/JPY pair -0.35% lower at 133.39, hovering close to fresh three week lows reached at 133.33 some minutes ago. EUR/JPY extended declines after the euro ran through fresh sellers in the European morning, as traders continue to digest Greece’s interior minister Nikos Voutsis warning over the weekend.
Voutsis told Greek Mega TV on Sunday, "The four instalments for the IMF in June are €1.6 billion. This money will not be given and is not there to be given."
On the other hand, the dollar-yen pair seems to be trading around a flat line having negligible impact on the EUR/JPY cross amid quiet markets.
Later in the day, we have Fed Fischer’s speech which could provide more hints about the central bank' future steps, having major impacts on USD.
EUR/JPY Technical Levels
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 133.84 (Today’s High) levels and above which it could extend gains 134 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 133.06 (May 5 Low) below that at 132.50 levels.
