Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY adds to Tuesday’s decline and breaches the key 150.00 support on Wednesday.

The underlying bullish stance appears unchanged so far, although the ongoing correction carries the potential to extend to the weekly low at 146.30 (April 25), where the cross is expected to meet decent contention.

So far, further upside looks favoured while the cross trades above the 200-day SMA, today at 142.60.

Gold remains under some selling pressure for the second straight day, and weakens further below the $4,050 level during the Asian session. Escalating US-Iran tensions support elevated crude oil prices, fueling inflation fears and bolstering expectations of higher-for-longer US interest rates.
