EUR/JPY fails to hold above 129.00
FXStreet (Córdoba) - As most pairs in the FX market, EUR/JPY entered a phase of consolidation over the last hours as investors remain sidelined ahead of the US nonfarm payrolls report.
The Japanese yen retreated across the board as risk aversion eased following a positive performance of the Chinese equity markets and a stabilization of the yuan. EUR/JPY briefly rose above the 129 mark and hit a fresh 3-day high of 129.08 before settling in a range between 128.45-128.90 over the last hours. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 128.53, virtually unchanged on the day.
