The yen rose against all of its major counterparts as concern Spain's escalating banking crisis may spread and the slowing U.S. economic recovery boosted demand for the safest assets.
The euro fell to an 11-year low against the yen and an almost three-year low against the dollar as Spanish officials debated how to fund a bailout of Bankia group, the nation's third largest lender. The greenback declined after a report showed the U.S. added the fewest jobs in a year last month, increasing bets the Federal Reserve may introduce further stimulus, which may debase the currency. The European Central Bank will publish its latest economic projections when it meets June 6.
"The yen certainly stood head-and-shoulders above its major counterparts, getting a boost from not only safe-haven flows but from record-low U.S. Treasury yields," said Joe Manimbo, a market analyst in Washington at Travelex Global Business Payments, a currency-exchange network. "Until Europe can do something to help restore investor confidence in the region, the euro should remain on its back foot."
