EUR/JPY eases from YTD peak, up a little around 164.30 ahead of Eurozone CPI

  • The EUR/JPY cross builds on the previous day's blowout rally following the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) policy decision and touches a fresh year-to-date top, around the 164.60-164.65 region during the Asian session on Friday. Spot prices, however, retreat a few pips from the daily swing high and currently trade with modest intraday gains, around the 164.30 area, as bulls turn cautious ahead of the crucial Eurozone consumer inflation figures.
