Macroeconomics

In the last two weeks the ECB has taken steps towards more monetary easing and the BoJ has taken a step back. This has resulted in a further fall in the rates spread to a record low for the EUR/JPY.&nbsp; The cross does not look cheap on a longer term perspective and we see a higher risk of a significant fall over the next few months. A short strategy in this pair has the advantage of being less-affected by developments in the US economy that may cause sharp moves in the USD, such as over the payrolls report this week.
