EUR/JPY keeps falling, tests 132.50
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The cross in the EUR/JPY keeps pushing lower in the European session, extending heavy losses from Asia, largely driven by strengthening Japanese yen on Japan’s PM Abe’s comments and persisting risk-off trades on falling European indices.
US NFP in focus
Currently, the EUR/JPY pair trades -0.69% lower at 132.64, hovering close to fresh five-month lows of 132.57. The EUR/JPY cross extends its bearish bias amid ongoing yen upward rally as the falling European indices and caution ahead of US jobs data continue to bolster the safe-haven bids for the yen.
However, further downside in the EUR/JPY cross remains cushioned on a better bid EUR/USD as greenback retreats on lower demand for riskier assets.
Looking ahead, US NFP figures may provide fresh cues on the cross. Forecasters are anticipating non-farm payrolls to have risen by 217,000 last month in the US, up marginally from the 215,000 increase in July.
EUR/JPY Technical Levels
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 133.68 (Today’s High) levels and above which it could extend gains 135 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 131.95 (Feb Low) below that at 130.89 (Jan Low) levels.
