FXStreet (Mumbai) - The cross in the EUR/JPY keeps pushing higher during the European session, extending its northward journey into a second-day, largely benefitting from a broadly lower US dollar amid risk-aversion widespread ahead of the Fed decision.
EUR/JPY supported at 136.10
Currently, the EUR/JPY pair trades 0.61% higher at 136.98, within a shouting distance of three-week highs ahead of 137 handle. The EUR/JPY cross remains strongly bid on the back of strengthening euro as European indices fall.
Whilst, a weaker yen versus the US dollar following the recent weak Japan’s fundamentals and news, also contributes to the gains in the EUR/JPY cross.
Today’s Fed decision is seen as markets' most closely watched event in years. Markets are fairly evenly split on whether the long-awaited rates normalization will kick off, but the market is pricing around 30% odds.
