FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The yen weakened on Friday, with the euro extending gains to 130.00, after Japan's Finance Minister Aso said on Thursday the G20 has understand that Japan's monetary easing is aimed at beating deflation and not at weakening the yen.
EUR/JPY rose over 200 pips throughout the day and hit a high of 130.03 before the rally lost steam. At time of writing, EUR/JPY is trading around 129.80, where it is 1.4% above its opening price.
