The forecast for the EUR/JPY is turning bearish with the global economy under ongoing stress from the Covid-19 pandemic. Daily infections are on the rise and could reach 300,000 this week for the first time. Chinese industrial profits soared in June, but data out of Japan and Singapore suggest a weakening trend. Initial jobless claims in the US rose last week, casting a shadow over the trend in the already depressed labor market. Price action is exposed to safe-haven demand, which is expected to drive this currency pair below its Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud and into its next horizontal support area.
