EUR/JPY pared some of its gains on the weak Euro. It hit an intraday low of 163.05 and is currently trading around 163.25. Intraday outlook is bearish as long as the resistance 164.25 holds.
With 2.0% year-on-year, the Euro Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) flash estimate for May 2025 shows a drop from 2.2% in April, therefore suggesting a continuing cooling of headline inflation and getting nearer to the European Central Bank's 2% objective. However, the Core CPI, which excludes volatile items like energy and food, remained steady at 2.7% year-on-year, unchanged from April, suggesting that underlying price pressures within the euro area economy persist despite the slowdown in the overall inflation rate.
