By FXStreet FXStreet (Mumbai) – The weak German factory orders data figure strengthened the offered tone around EUR/JPY and pushed it lower to its 5-DMA located at 134.43.

Rejected at 200-DMA

Meanwhile, the US index futures are trading moderately in the red, which is pushing JPY higher in early Europe. The treasury yields have weakened as well, lending support to the JPY. The EUR/JPY cross has managed to stay around 134.43, although losses may be extended further in case the European equities turn risk averse.
