EUR/USD - ...... The single currency remained under pressure in Asian morning on Thursday following yesterday's intra-day decline from 1.1391 to 1.1268 and extended losses to 1.1263 due partly to cross-selling in euro vs yen.

At the moment, offers are reported at 1.1280-90 and more at 1.1300-10 with stops above there, whilst bids are noted at 1.1250-40 and then 1.1230-20 with stops below 1.1320.

AceTraderFx Apr 15: BOJ Governor described the yen's gains so far this year as excessive

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
15 Apr 2016
00:50GMT

BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has dismissed view held by some in the market on deploying negative interest rates was an attempt to stem an unwelcome yen rise that hurts exports. It was the first time the BOJ governor described the yen's gains so far this year as "excessive," wading into a series of verbal intervention by Japanese policymakers that has had little success arresting unwelcome yen gains that hurt exports. While the yen's "excessive" rises have been corrected somewhat in the past few days, pointing to the dollar's rebound from 17-month lows hit earlier this month.

G20 meeting is concluding today, and high on the agenda willy be the Currency policy. The IMF on Tuesday cut Japan's growth forecast for 2016 in half to 0.5 percent, as the economy skirts recession on sluggish global demand and weak private consumption.

In a seminar in New York earlier, Kuroda acknowledged that private consumption has shown some weaknesses and stressed his readiness to ease again if risks threaten achievement of the bank's 2 percent inflation target.

A statement issued by Japan Treasury Department today, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso and U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has agreed on the importance of all countries to honor their G7 and G20 exchange-rate commitments. The two, who met in Washington on the sidelines of the Group of 20 finance leaders' gathering, also discussed developments in Japan's macro-economic policies including fiscal measures.
The G20 finance leaders agreed in February that countries should refrain from competitive currency devaluations, which some market players interpreted as a warning against Japan for intervening in the currency market to stem sharp yen rises.
The G20 and the Group of Seven advanced economies, however, agree that excess volatility and disorderly currency moves are undesirable. But Japan insists it has the right to step into the market if the yen's spike is out of line with fundamentals.

GBP/USD - ...... Cable rebounds from intra-day low of 1.4132 on short covering after Reuters news reported the "In" camp maintains lead.

Reuters reported the "In" campaign has retained its seven percentage point lead ahead of Britain's June 23 referendum on whether Britain should stay in the European Union although more voters were undecided, according to a ComRes poll for the Sun newspaper on Monday.
The telephone survey of 1,002 people carried out last week found support for staying in the bloc was on 45 percent with 38 percent of voters backing a Brexit.

That meant the "In" camp's lead was unchanged from a similar ComRes poll last month although the number of undecided voters had risen significantly to 17 percent. Last month, 11 percent said they did not know how they would vote.

"It is clear there is still considerable confusion about the referendum, which suggests a lack of clarity from both campaigns," Tom Mludzinski from ComRes told the Sun.
Phone surveys have generally indicated support for remaining in the EU firmly ahead of the "Out" campaign, while online polls have the two sides running neck and neck.
