  • EUR/JPY fails to hold gains above 130 handle, retraces below 21-EMA as Euro extends falls on trade, Italy, data. 
     
  • The pair has retraced from new 2-week highs at 130.275, extends downside for a second straight session.
     
  • Weak German data along with concerns that Italy may confront Europe and ask for more funds keep euro subdued. 
     
  • Further, global trade concerns have resurfaced as Trump's rhetoric has become fiercer ahead of the G-7 Summit.
     
  • Rising expectations that the ECB could lay out a path to end its massive quantitative-easing program at their forthcoming meeting next week likely to limit further downside.
     
  • On the weekly charts, the pair has bounced off 100W SMA with a hammer formation.
