  • EUR/JPY rises after GDP in Q1 for Japan surprisingly contracted by 0.3%.
  • Current Account showed a surplus and Trade Balance deficit in April.
  • Eyes on Eurozone GDP data on Thursday.


At the beginning of Thursday’s Asian session the EUR/JPY rose after Japan reported strong Current Account data but a Trade Balance deficit. In addition, the Q1 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) unexpectedly contracted. As a reaction, the EUR/JPY increased slightly to the 149.88 area. For the rest of the session, GDP data from the Eurozone (EZ) may have a further impact on the pair.

Japan released mixed economic data

The Cabinet Office from Japan reported that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted by 0.3% (QoQ) in Q1 while the markets expected a 0.5% expansion from the previous 0.4% quarterly reading. However, the annualized rate showed an expansion of 2.7% from its previous 1.6%. In addition, the Ministry of Finance reported a ¥1,895B Current Account surplus but a ¥113.1B Trade Balance deficit, which came better than the consensus.


On Thursday, the EZ will report GDP data from Q1, which is expected to have stagnated in the quarterly reading and a slight deceleration in the annualized rate from 1.3% to 1.2%
