Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY is trading at 96.54 as it continues its daily tumble against the JPY. With little eco data and little in news flow, the euro continues to weaken against all of its trading partners. After negative comments yesterday by Chancellor Merkel the euro continued to decline.

Spain saw its borrowing rates return towards record levels.

The JPY remains strong with no particular reason. It is trading below 79 against the USD and at this time seems to be the only safe haven risk aversion asset in the market place.
