EUR/JPY to slide towards 123 on a three-month view – Rabobank

The wave of EUR buying continued over the summer, taking EUR/JPY back to levels last seen at the start of 2019 before profit-taking emerged. The pair is trading just above the 126.00 mark and economists at Rabobank forecast EUR/JPY dipping to 123 in three-months.

“Under the weight of rising unemployment levels, it is likely the political challenges will re-emerge.”

“We see scope for a EUR/JPY dip to 123 on a three-month view.”
