Japan’s Domestic Corporate Goods Price Index

Today in Japan, Domestic Corporate Goods Price Index for April 2018 was released by the Bank of Japan. The market was looking for a rise of around 0.1% in the index in April 2018, compared with the previous month.

EUR/JPY Technical Analysis Euro Japanese Yen

 

It settled above the 130.00 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There was a minor downside correction once, but a key bullish trend line with current support at 130.40 on the hourly chart of EUR/JPY prevented declines.
