EUR/JPY looks for a retest of 113 handle

The EUR/JPY pair rises +0.25% to 113.22, easing-off session highs previously posted at 113.45. EUR/JPY trades on a cautious note and restricts further recovery as the Deutsche Bank saga is expected hog the limelight for the second day today and will continue to weigh on the investors’ sentiments.

The recovery in the cross may be mainly attributed to a solid bounce staged by USD/JPY after risk appetite recovered, as the first US presidential election debate suggested Clinton’s win.

Later today, a fresh batch of US economic data and Fed speaks will be closely eyed for fresh impetus on the US dollar, eventually influencing both the EUR and JPY.

On the flip side, next supports are seen at 113.00 (round figure) and 112.50 (psychological levels) below which it could extend losses to towards 112.02 (post-FOMC low).
