The euro is about to end the day with a 100-pips decline against the Japanese yen. EUR/JPY dropped from 126.80 and it found support above the 125.20 area. During the American session it moved in a range and near Wall Street closing bell it was trading at 125.80.

It is the third daily decline in a row for EUR/JPY, that dropped from 1-month highs above 128.00 that reached last week to the lowest in 12 days. Also it dropped back under the 20-day moving average for the first time since March 9.

The yen was the best performer in the currency market on Tuesday favored by risk aversion, boosted by the decline of USD/JPY that dropped to the lowest in more than a year.
