Yen Gains on Woes of Europe, Flat vs. Dollar

http://friendfinder.com/go/g1361203
The Japanese yen gained against most Major currency today as endless woes of European Countries
The not-so-impressive performance of the yen against the dollar may be explained by poor macroeconomic reports from Japan. The unemployment rate unexpectedly increased by 0.1 percentage point to 4.6 percent in April. Retail sales rose 5.8 percent in April, following the 10.3 percent advance in March. The median estimate was 6.2 percent.

Japan is not too happy about the strength of the yen as it hurts nation’s economy. The minutes of the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy meeting showed that the central bank is going to maintain its accommodative policy. But it does not look like the bank is ready for any aggressive actions and it is questionable if the central bank’s efforts would have any effect on the appreciating currency.
EUR/JPY dropped from 99.66 to 99.35 as of 21:16 GMT today, reaching intraday 98.93 — the lowest rate since January 19. GBP/JPY was down from 124.59 to 124.32. At the same time, USD/JPY traded at about 79.49, following the rise from 79.45 to 79.64.
