FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/JPY pair rose sharply today after having managed to sustain above 142 levels since last week.

The Pair is trading 0.82% higher at 143.78 levels, compared to the previous session’s close of 142.66 levels. The yen has weakened sharply against the US Dollar tracking strength in the US treasury yields. Meanwhile, the EUR/USD pair is trading marginally lower at 1.2414.

The central bank settled 3.075 billion euros in the second week of purchases and 1.704 billion euros in the first week.
