EUR/JPY looks to trade for direction
Trade concerns are easing a tad today after President Trump showed some confidence on a potential US-China deal in yesterday’s comments. In this regard, markets’ focus has shifted to the G-20 meeting in Japan later in the month, where Trump and Xi Jingpin could meet.
In the meantime and without no events on the horizon, prospects of the potential return to a more accommodative monetary policy stance in several G10 central banks should continue to dictate the mood around the global markets, somehow supporting the demand for riskier assets.
In the docket today, final inflation figures in Germany matched the preliminary readings for the month of May, leaving no room for surprises. In the NA session, Import/Export Prices and Initial Claims are unlikely to move the dial among investors.
