Dollar surges sharply against Yen today and maintains gain after better than expected job data. Though, the greenback is retreating mildly against other major currencies, as traders are probably lightening up their positions first ahead of tomorrow's non-farm payrolls. Comments from ECB and BoE officials gave Euro and Sterling some support. But they're not enough to trigger a notable rebound. Meanwhile, commodity currencies turned mixed. European stock indexes are trading in slight black but US futures are mixed. Technically, some focuses are turning back to Yen crosses. EUR/JPY would be eyeing 132.68 resistance against, and break could pave the way to retest 134.11 high. AUD/JPY also rebounds after hitting 82.79 and could be heading back to 84.24. Break will resume the rise from 82.11 for retesting 85.78 high. NZD/JPY looks even stronger and break of 78.46 will resume the rise from 76.20 for retesting 80.17 high.
