Forex: EUR/JPY rises above 111.00

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The EUR/JPY continues to rise over Europe today, as risk aversion wanes and the yen loses some of its safe-haven demand. The pair has jumped a fresh 20 pips in the last 30 minutes, extending its pullback from a daily low near 110.40 as it breaks above the 111.00 barrier.

Directly ahead of the highly-anticipated US nonfarm payrolls, the pair remains modestly bullish around a daily high of 111.10. According to Nicole Elliot at Mizuho Corporate Bank: “Strategy: Attempt small longs at 110.55; stop below 109.75. First target 111.50, then 113.00.”
