EURJPY: Despite the alarming inflation figures from Germany

The EUR/JPY pair extended its losses for the second consecutive day, sliding to 157.40. Strong retail sales data from Japan contributed to the strengthening of the Japanese Yen. Despite hot inflation figures reported in Germany, with CPI rising to 6.4% (compared to the expected 6.3%), and in Spain, with CPI reaching 1.9% (compared to the expected 1.7%), the EUR/JPY pair still faced pressure. However, the increased interest rates in Germany limited the potential depreciation of the Euro. #OPINIONLEADER#
