The post EUR/JPY holds steady above 177.50 amid thin trading due to Japan’s holiday appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

EUR/JPY holds ground after registering losses in the previous session, trading around 177.70 during the Asian hours on Monday. The currency cross edges higher as the Japanese Yen (JPY) weakens after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintained a cautious stance on interest rates.

While he left room for a possible December rate hike, but needs some more data to adjust the degree of monetary easing. Traders remain uncertain about the timing of the next rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) amid speculations that Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will pursue aggressive fiscal spending plans and resist policy tightening.

ECB policymaker and Governor of the Central Bank of Latvia, Martins Kazaks, said that risks to inflation and growth in the Eurozone are more balanced. ECB will move when needed, but shouldn’t be jumpy, Kazaks added. Euro Price Today The table below shows the percentage change of Euro (EUR) against listed major currencies today.
