EUR/JPY bulls are licking wounds

EUR/JPY was a big loser yesterday, as the pair dipped to 137.48 after opening at 138.60 - more than 100 pips of decline, explained by sudden problems with Portuguese banks that dampened EUR across the board and caused rush to safety on the markets. Later during the dat the cross is expected to consolidate its losses. Some healthy profit-taking before the end of the week is possible, though it is unlikely to take the cross above 138,00 resistance. From the fundamental point of view, German inflation data may be of interest, though this report have a market moving potential only in case of substantial deviations from the forecasts (no change is expected: 0.3% m/m, 1.0% y/y).
