EUR/JPY

The Greek factor drives the euro this week. BOJ monetary policy meeting minutes are due on Tuesday. The retail sales index y/y is expected to be published on Wednesday. Tokyo core CPI y/y and National core CPI y/y are due on Thursday. As Japanese retail sales have been disappointing for a while, we express the same view this time as well. The unemployment rate and national core CPI data are expected to be optimistic.
