The cross closed Friday with src.65% weekly gains, trading in highs since 2008. 
Focus shifts to the Eurozone and Japan’s GDP for Q2, which will be released the following week.

In Friday’s session, the EUR/JPY traded with losses, closed negative below the src59.00 area, and corrected after five consecutive days of gains. On the Euro’s side, France’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures slightly surprised to the upside but failed to significantly impact the pair, while no relevant reports featured on the Japanese economic calendar.
