EUR/JPY perked up over the past 24 hours and continues with a bullish bias into Asia post the open. Meanwhile, Richard Koo, chief economist at Nomura Research Institute noted that the monetary policy in Europe and Japan are moving in opposite directions with the European central bank taking very seriously the euro’s recent strength and the sharp drop in inflation. Where as he went on and said, "In Japan, meanwhile, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda declared the BOJ had no intention of giving in to market participants’ demands for additional easing in response to the recent poor performance of Japanese equities. He also surprised many people by expressing the view that Japan’s deflationary gap was almost gone."
