The Japanese yen staged a steep slide across the board in early New York trading on Thursday after the US data showed that initial jobless claims unexpectedly fell for the week. The yen plummeted to fresh multi-month lows against the US dollar, new multi-week lows against the European majors and commodity dollars.
The US Department of Labor said in a report that jobless claims fell to 432,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 454,000. The decrease came as a surprise to economists, who had expected jobless claims to edge up to 460,000 from the 452,000 originally reported for the previous week.
The yen plummeted to 92.79 against the greenback by 8:35 am ET and holding the level thereafter. This set the lowest level for the Japanese currency since September 8 and down by 1 percent from its Asian session high of 91.93. On the downside, the yen is likely to test support around the 93.3 level. The pair that closed yesterday’s deals at 92.43 is presently trading at 92.68.
Against the franc, the yen tumbled to a 9-week low of 90.03 by 9:10 am ET. This was down by more than 0.9 percent from yesterday’s close of 89.19. On the downside, the Japanese unit may find support around the 90.8 level. The pair is presently quoted at 90.0.
The yen also tumbled to fresh multi-week lows of 150.37 against the pound and 133.47 against the euro around 9:10 am ET and the next downside target levels are seen around the 151.75 and 134.6, respectively. The euro-yen and the pound-yen pairs were worth 132.54 and 148.64 each at yesterday’s close.
