FxWirePro- EURJPY Trade Idea

The EUR/JPY gained slightly after upbeat German PMI data.  It hit an intraday high of 162.56 and is currently trading around 162.19. The intraday outlook is bullish as long as the support of 160.70 holds.

In March 2025, German Flash PMI was subdued with the Manufacturing PMI to a 31-month high of 48.3 as it relieved contraction slightly and the Services PMI to a four-month low of 50.2 as it reported slower growth. Even so, the HCOB Composite Output Index increased to 50.9, which forecasted overall economic expansion in the first quarter of 2025 as an indicator of the tough economic environment with market sentiment and outlook implications.
