There were reports that Greece agreed to come up with a new reform plan to secure the next bailout package. The news alleviated concerns about a potential bankruptcy of the indebted country. Coupled with the positive German’s data, it made traders more willing to risk, reducing the need for safe haven currencies.
USD/JPY was near the opening level of 120.78 as of 13:50 GMT today. At the same time, EUR/JPY climbed from 128.73 to 130.18 (1.1 percent.)
