Trade Idea

The EUR/JPY has recovered well from the early March lows, as fears of a European slowdown abate. Further upside is on the cards as the yen continues to back off.

Dollar Soft as Traders Eye Fed

A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the EUR/JPY will close above 127.00 in 14 days for a potential return of 131%.
