FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The euro bounced from levels sub-1.3400 and reached a high of 1.3465 versus the greenback mainly supported by crosses. However, EURUSD failed to break above that level and saw a short-lived pullback. Meanwhile the yen has had a wild ride in the wake of G7 statement and subsequent clarifications. USDJPY slid from the 94.40 area toward the 93.20 zone.
