The yen rose versus 15 of 16 major counterparts as a technical indicator signaled the currency may pare its 6.6 percent loss against the dollar since the Bank of Japan expanded monetary easing on April 4. The 14-day relative strength index of the yen versus the dollar was at 28.3, below the 30 level that some traders use as a signal that a currency has fallen too far, too fast. Versus the euro, the yen’s RSI was at 29.5.

The Australian currency weakened versus the dollar and yen after the statistics bureau said the jobless rate rose to 5.6 percent and employers cut 36,100 jobs in March. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News had predicted the jobless rate would remain unchanged at 5.4 percent.

The Canadian dollar strengthened against its U.S. counterpart for the third day as investors seek higher-yielding currencies of commodity-exporting nations. The loonie, as the currency is nicknamed, gained on speculation heightened demand from Japan for cross-border assets will result from a stimulus package announced last week by Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda.
