The Japanese yen strengthened against its major counterparts in
the early European session on Monday, after the Bank of Japan
Governor Haruhiko Kuroda remarked that the Japanese economy has
escaped deflation and the central bank would discuss and convey its
exit strategy from stimulus plan at appropriate time.
The economy is maintaining momentum in order to attain the BOJ's
price target, Kuroda told parliament.
"To ensure markets remain stable, it's important to come up with
a strategy and guidance at an appropriate timing on how to proceed
with an exit," Kuroda said.
"When the appropriate time comes, we will debate at our policy
meetings an exit strategy and guidance, and communicate them
appropriately," he added.
Data from the Bank of Japan showed that Japan monetary base rose
4.6 percent on year in February - coming in at 493.098 trillion
yen.
That was down from the 4.7 percent gain in January.
The currency has been trading higher against its major
counterparts in the Asian session.

possibly seen as its next resistance levels against the euro and
the franc, respectively.
The yen strengthened to a 4-day high of 84.08 against the
loonie, after having dropped to 84.34 at 11:15 pm ET. The yen is
