EUR/JPY nears 2009 high

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The EUR/JPY extended gains into a sixth day Thursday and printed yet another 4 ½-year high as the yen came under pressure amid better risk appetite and rising stocks.

The EUR/JPY broke above the 139.00 psychological level and climbed to its highest level since Jun 2009 at 139.17. However, the pair lost momentum amid thin volume and settled in a slim range where it has spent the last hours. If the EUR/JPY breaks above 139.26, it will be trading at its strongest since October 2008.
