THE YEN AGAINST EUR & GBP

Greece and the Eurogroup are discussing a bailout extension. The press conference has just been over. At yesterday's meeting, the parties reached no accord. Jeroen Dijsselbloem stated, "We discussed the possibility of an extension for Greece. For some people, it was the preferred option, but we haven’t come to that conclusion yet. We might make the final progress we need at the Eurogroup meeting next Monday." These words favor the Yen.
