- EUR/JPY has edged lower from session highs at 114.74, but is holding above 5-DMA at 113.87.
- Poor Chinese data and deteriorating investors’ sentiment likely to keep demand for the Yen intact.
- Data released earlier showed China Caixin Manufacturing PMI stood at 48.6 vs. 49.2 expected and 49.2 last.
- Data from Japan were better than expected. Japan Nikkei manufacturing PMI climbed from previous 47.8 to 48.1 in June.
- Japan May CPI came in at -0.4 % y/y versus -0.5% expected, while the BOJ Q2 Tankan Large Manufacturing Index: came in stronger at 6 versus 4 expected.
