* USD/JPY was pushed to a 3-day low of 122.59 in late Asian trading by selling from Japanese players in USD/JPY itself and also in the GBP/JPY and AUD/JPY crosses. However, the pair bounced to an intraday high of 123.38 on rumors BOJ governor Hayami had resigned. EUR/JPY was pulled off a 3-day low of 104.55 to an intraday high of 105.22 while GBP/JPY bounced from the 171.15 area to the 172.45 region. Both pair and cross subsequently dropped back into their earlier ranges when the rumors were denied. The outlook is slightly bullish.

* EUR/USD was stuck in a 0.8525-0.8545 range. The euro zone recorded a preliminary 3.0-bln-EUR trade deficit in April, down from a 3.2-bln-EUR deficit in March. Spanish GDP grew an as-forecast 3.4% y/y in Q1, while Italian Q1 GDP rose 2.4% y/y at the final estimate, revised up from the initially 2.3% y/y rise. The BBK, in its monthly report for June, said economic indicators are suggesting German GDP growth would have been "very restrained" during the spring months. The outlook is weak as euro falls below 20-day support at 0.8537.

* GBP/USD softened slightly following the release of U.K. trade data for April/May and the minutes of the June 6 MPC meeting. The U.K. recorded a below-forecast global trade deficit of 2.881 bln GBP in April though a greater-than-forecast PSNCR of 2.441 bln GBP in May. The minutes of the June 6 MPC meeting showed an 8-1 vote to keep the repo rate on hold at 5.25% and that the majority had expressed concern over the inflationary impact of a further cut. However, subsequent data has made the minutes largely redundant.
