EUR/JPY: upside remains limited on reduced speculation on BoJ stimulus - FXStreet

Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet explained that the EUR/JPY pair closed the week marginally lower at 116.46, with the Japanese yen recovering partially market's favor, on speculation that the recent decline of the currency, based on speculation of upcoming fiscal and monetary stimulus as soon as this month, has exceeded BOJ's real intentions.
