FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - While US House debates on the Senate's bill about a "fiscal cliff" deal once it has voted in favor of the debate, and Tokyo markets remain closed on holiday, EURJPY prints fresh 17-month high last at 115.88, +2.11% higher for the week so far. USDJPY prints fresh session highs at 87.16, highest since July 2011.

EURUSD is currently finding some offers around the 1.33 figure, highest since Dec 19.
