FXStreet (Córdoba) - The euro managed to extend gains versus the Japanese yen and climbed briefly above the 134.00 level to post a fresh 6-week high as investors continue to digest ECB decision.

The pair climbed to a peak of 134.49 before pulling back below the 134 mark. At time of writing, EUR/JPY is trading at 133.93, still recording a 2.4% daily gain.
