EUR/JPY is back up close to rumoured sell ordesr at 134.80/00 but is showing little signs of tiredness. It must be Friday as I've been thinking to myself that USD/JPY might be a good buy. Perhaps I need a break! I'll hand over to Sam for the next few hours and turn my platform off to resist taking trades I don't really believe in.

EURJPY and other Yen crosses have pulled back a touch into the Tokyo fix after solid early morning gains. Traders report some sell orders at 135.00, after already running up this morning from the low 134's on short covering. However the pullback has only been 30 odd pips with good demand seen on dips today. Once again the Asian Equity markets will be in focus. The Nikkei is currently up 0.6%.

AUDUSD is trading above 84c and looks set to challenge the overnight high of 8417. There are sell orders ahead of 8430 and then more up at the previous top 8470/80. Market is short AUDUSD and AUDJPY on the back of Asian equity markets, in particular the Shanghai Composite, which traders believe should remain under pressure heading into month end. Personally, I will be selling into the rally up towards 8470/80 if I see it.
