EUR/JPY testing 136 handle
FXStreet (Mumbai) - EUR/JPY remains lifted in the mid-European session, although retreated slightly from session highs above 136 handle, largely on the back of broad euro strength as markets ignored the latest fall of ZEW economic sentiment index in Germany and Euro zone’s industrial production.
EUR/JPY supported on EUR strength
Currently, the EUR/JPY pair trades 0.22% higher at 136.08, quickly retracing from session highs posted at 136.24. The cross maintains gains mainly driven by rising EUR/USD as the traders shrugged off the latest weak ZEW and industrial production results from Germany and Euro zone respectively.
On the other, the yen trades almost unchanged versus the US dollar awaiting fresh cues from a slew of US economic releases due later today. While Fed Chair Yellen's double testimony along with the Fed's Beige Book is due on Wednesday/Thursday.
EUR/JPY Technical Levels
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 136.71 (July 13 High) levels and above which it could extend gains 137 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 135.84 below that at 134.57 levels.
