EUR/JPY trades without a clear trend on Thursday, hovering around 177.00, virtually unchanged on the day. The pair remains stable after the release of mixed data from both the Eurozone and Japan, maintaining a fragile balance between the two currencies.
USD retraced some of its recent gains after testing resistance at the 200-day moving average. No policy-relevant data will be released today but a full slate of Fed speakers could generate some market volatility (Williams, Barr, Hammack, Waller, Paulson, and Musalem), BBH FX analysts report.
Tentatively slowing downward momentum and oversold conditions suggest consolidation in EUR, likely between 1.1475 and 1.1525. In the longer run, EUR is expected to weaken further; the next level to watch is 1.1450, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.
