The greenback fell to 101.43 on Thursday due to cross buying in Japanese yen, however, short-covering lifted price to 101.79 in Australian morning b4 easing. Some bids are located at 101.55-50 with stops building up below 101.40 n 101.35. On the upside, some offers are tipped at 101.75/80 n 101.95/00.
Japan's MOF's Furusawa says that there are indications Japan's economy is entering a virtuous cycle; is no longer in deflationary situation.
Japan EconMin Amari says that April CPI shows the sales tax hike is being passed on effectively.
Data to be released on Friday:
New Zealand building permits, U.K. Gfk consumer confidence, Japan jobless rate, overall household spending, National CPI, Tokyo CPI, industrial production, housing starts, construction orders, China leading index, Germany retail sales, Switzerland KOF leading indicator, Italy PPI, CPI, Canada GDP, U.S. personal income, personal spending, PCE, Chicago PMI and University of Michigan confidence.

USD/JPY - 102.39
BOJ governor Kuroda says various means are available if BOJ were to exit QQE; how to exit QQE, including what to do with BOJ's JGB buying, will depend on price, market developments at the time; don't see limits to options available to BOJ if it were to ease again to ensure achievement of 2% inflation target.
BOJ says key monetary official Amamiya to be reappointed as executive overseeing monetary policy department.
BOJ governor Kuroda says too early to debate specific plans on exiting BOJ's QQE policy; taking about specific exit strategy at too early a stage could create confusion in markets, as seen in overseas examples; it's true we will need to debate exit strategy when 2% inflation is achieved in stable manner, but too early to do so now.
BOJ's Kuroda says BOJ won't rule out adjusting policy if achievement of price target becomes difficult, but as of now Japan moving steadily toward meeting the target.
He then says "private consumption likely to remain firm as a trend despite impact of sales tax hike".
BOJ's Kuroda says Japan's output gap has narrowed to near zero but how demand performs remain important.
Earlier, Reuters news quoting source fm the Nikkei, Japan GPIF's asset allocation committee head says raising Japan stock weighting to 20% wouldn't be too high.
BoJ Governor Kuroda says "expect Japan consumer inflation to reach 2% around fiscal 2015"; "won't hesitate to adjuest policy if risks threaten achievement of 2% inflation target"; "hope Japan govt steadily proceeds with steps to boost Japan's growth potential".

Despite y'day's brief retreat to 102.27, the greenback ratcheted higher against the Japanese yen to 102.55 in NY n then 102.67 in Asian morning due to the selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The U.S. 10-year yield climbed to 2.6% yesterday, the highest level since May 14, due to that speculation that the Wed's release of U.S. ADP empolyment report will show the U.S. added more than 200,000 jobs for a third month.
Bids are now located at 102.40-20 n more at 102.05-00 with some stops seen below 102.00. On the upside, some offers are tipped at 102.75-85 with mixture of offers n stops seen at 103.00.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on EUR/USD - 1.3605
Update Time: 04 Jun 2014 06:53 GMT
The single currency's weakness after last Thursday's fall to a fresh 3-month low at 1.3586 suggests fall from May's 2-1/2 year high at 1.3995 remains in progress and further decline to 1.3560/70 would be seen after consolidation, however, near term loss of momentum would prevent sharp move beyond there and reckon support at 1.3518 should hold and bring a much-needed correction later.
On the upside, only above 1.3688 would indicate a temporary low has been made and shift risk to the upside for a stronger retracement towards 1.3734.

Statement quoted from BOJ's Sato:
Japan economy likely to resume moderate recovery trend from summer onward;
Expected gradual recovery in exports likely to heighten likelihood of economy moving in line with BOJ's scenario;
There is risk eurozone may suffers from prolonged period of disinflation mainly in peripheral nations;
Must be mindful of chance U.S. inflation may stay lower than desirable levels in longer-term perspective;
Japan's economy somewhat undershooting, prices overshooting, initial projections;
Underlying overshooting of inflation due in part to rises in energy costs, weak yen, capacity constraints;
QE's intended transmission channels, such as portfolio rebalancing n rises in inflation expectations, not appearing as much as expected so far;
Monetary policy policy must be guided flexibly with eye not just on economy n prices, but on risks including financial imbalances;
BoJ's price target by no means a rigid, superficial framework that simply aims to achieve 2% temporarily;
Must avoid any misunderstanding that BoJ is solely pursuing pickup in prices without due attention to economy;
Natural for nominal interest rates to face upward pressure when unconventional monetary policy begins to exert intended effects;
BoJ's price target is a flexible framework in which some degree of latitude. both upside n downside, is accommodated;
BoJ policy, including eventual exit fm QE, shouldn't be swayed by consideration to fiscal sustainability.
Data to be released on Thursday:
Australia trade balance, export and import, China HSBC Service PMI, France ILO unemployment rate, Germany industrial orders, U.K. Halifax house prices, euro zone retail sales, BoE rate decision, ECB's rate decision, U.S. jobless claims, Canada building permits, Ivey PMI.
