EUR/JPY consolidating after Nonfarm Payrolls

By FXStreet FXStreet (Guatemala) – EUR/JPY is currently trading at 134.42 with a high of 134.76 and a low of 133.98.

EUR/JPY has started to settle after a volatile period post the dreadful Nonfarm Payrolls. The price has been trading between a 50 pip range, with both the euro and yen was under demand on the release of the data. USD/JPY dropped from the vicinity of 120.40 down to 118.67 and lowest level since the start of September while EUR/USD rallied from 1.1150 to 1.1315.

Analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman explained that the shockingly poor data will make upcoming numerous Fed official comments, including Fischer later today, all the more important. “Most observers did not expect an October move in any event. Officials may reassure that the Fed is looking at the larger picture, but it will take firmer employment data to convince a skeptical market.”
