EURJPY demonstrates the highest beta to Euro-turmoil for the obvious reason that both legs of the cross pull in the same direction during stress. The GFC period is deliberately excluded from the analysis assuming that a global shock on that scale is unlikely to be repeated; its inclusion does not alter currency rankings but does amplify the magnitudes of elasticities in both directions.
Last week, Bank of Japan’s board members find easy monetary policy as the best way to go for in near term. The board believes that the inflation target of 2% is yet to be achieved since consumer price growth is under pressure.
Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda on Tuesday declined to comment on what the appropriate level for the yen is, saying foreign exchange policy is decided by the finance ministry.
Kuroda, who spoke in the lower house of parliament, also said the BOJ's purchases of exchange-traded funds are intended to meet its 2 percent inflation target and do not distort the price mechanism for stocks.
Consequently, after Kuroda’s speech FxWirePro currency strength index that measures the price performance of a basket of currencies on hourly basis indicates the robustness of Yen, while euro was struggling in a feeble mood (while articulating).

The unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to a 22-year low at 2.8% in February, but CPI inflation disappointed.
