American focus: euro gained from a two-year low versus the dollar
The yen rose against most of its major counterparts after the U.S. added the least jobs in a year last month, adding to concern global growth is stagnating. Payrolls climbed by 69,000 last month, less than the most- pessimistic forecast in a Bloomberg News survey, after a revised 77,000 gain in April that was smaller than initially estimated, the Labor Department reported. The median estimate called for a 150,000 May advance. The jobless rate rose to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent, while hours worked declined.
Japan’s currency rose to its strongest in almost four months against the dollar as the premium investors get for investing in U.S. debt over Japanese securities fell to a record.
The euro gained from a two-year low versus the dollar amid speculation its decline was too quick as Spanish bond yields fell for a second day.
The dollar posted its biggest monthly gain since 2011 in May, beating bonds, stocks and commodities for the first time this year as investors sought refuge in U.S. assets while Europe’s sovereign crisis worsened.

Experts expect a new round of easing the Bank of England
Analysts at Citi Bank commented: "The further relaxation of the policy of the Bank of England is likely, and we believe that the next expansion of QE could happen as early as next week." The bank issued its comment after the report on the UK PMI reflected a sharp drop in activity.
JPMORGAN also predicts that the Bank of England may extend QE at the next meeting.

Asian session: The dollar rose versus the majority of its 16 major counterparts
01:00 China Manufacturing PMI May 53.3 52.1 50.4
02:30 China HSBC Manufacturing PMI (finally) May 49.3 48.7 48.4
The dollar rose versus the majority of its 16 major counterparts as investors sought the relative safety of the U.S. currency amid concern China’s economy is slowing and Europe’s debt crisis is deepening. The greenback climbed against its Australian and New Zealand peers after a report showed China’s manufacturing grew less than forecast last month. China’s manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index fell to 50.4 last month from 53.3 in April, the statistics bureau and logistics federation said in a statement today in Beijing. It’s the weakest reading since December and compares with the 52.0 median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
The dollar’s appeal was also boosted after leaders of Italy and the European Central Bank clashed with Germany by demanding bolder steps to stabilize the economies of the 17-nation euro bloc. In Europe, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and ECB President Mario Draghi pushed Germany to give up its opposition to direct euro-area aid for struggling banks.
Monti told a Brussels conference yesterday that German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s vision of a stable economy “risks being undermined because of lack of promptness in setting up the necessary instruments to limit the contagion.”
The yen weakened after Japanese Finance Minister Jun Azumi pledged to take “decisive” action if excessive gains in the currency persist. “We will continue to carefully monitor currency market moves with more caution,” Azumi told reporters in Tokyo today. “If these excessive moves continue, I think I must take decisive action” on the yen, he said.
EUR/USD: during the Asian session the pair fell, updated a monthly low.
GBP/USD: during the Asian session the pair fell to a yesterday's low.
USD/JPY: during the Asian session the pair restored after yesterday's falling.
It is a busy day for European and US data on Friday, including PMI data and also the non-farm payrolls from the US.
