Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/JPY is trading at 97.32 dipping a bit in Asian trading as the euro lost of bit of momentum. There is no significant cause for the euro to dip, except that it had moved to high to quickly and this is simply a market adjustment.

Greece seems to be coming together nicely, Spain seems to be coming under control and Italy seems to be surviving. Traders have now begun to support Draghi’s policies and actions and are supporting him and the ECB. German is endorsing the actions of the ECB.

The JPY has weakened elsewhere as political turmoil weighs on the currency.

Markets will wait for the main event, on Thursday and Friday when a slew of Chinese data is released. Otherwise there is little in the way of eco data.
