EUR/JPY clocks two-week low after BOJ disappointment
|EUR/JPY fell to 113.91; lowest since July 12; as Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) decision to expand ETF purchases failed to impress markets.
Recovers to 114.70
The cross has managed to back from the daily lows, although remains well below today’s opening rate of 116.58 levels. JPY was on the back foot heading into the BOJ event as markets expected the central bank to announce rate cut and an expansion of monetary base.
However, bank kept all key tools unchanged which disappointed markets and led to a knee jerk drop in Yen pairs. The pair was last seen trading around 114.70 levels.
