EUR/JPY stuck around hourly 50-MA
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/JPY ran into offers at 136.61 and currently trades around its hourly 50-MA located at 136.34 levels.
Weak data hurts the EUR
The bid tone on the EUR weakened somewhat after the Eurozone industrial production missed estimates to print at 0.9% y/y. Meanwhile, the losses in the European equities are also supporting the Japanese Yen, ensuring the pair stays below its 100-DMA at 136.47.
The focus now shifts to the US advance retail sales report due later today. At the moment, the pair appears stuck between its hourly 50-MA and hourly 100-MA.
EUR/JPY Technical Levels
