EUR/JPY rises to 185.76 amid USD rebound and Japan's weak GDP data
Over the past 24 hours, EUR/JPY has strengthened to 185.76, influenced by a rebound in the US dollar following a sell-off and weaker-than-expected Japanese GDP growth. The US Treasury's announcement to increase bond buybacks has bolstered the dollar, while Japan's Q2 GDP growth of 0.3% fell short of the anticipated 0.5%, contributing to yen weakness.
