USD/JPY weighed by weak US retail sales

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The dollar weakened further on the day and fell to fresh lows versus the yen after data showed retail sales unexpectedly fell in February.

US retail sales dropped by 0.6% last month, missing by far expectations of a 0.3% increase. Meanwhile, excluding autos, sales fell by 0.1%, still down below the 0.5% rise expected. The dollar extended its pullback versus major competitors and dragged USD/JPY below 121.00 to a low of 120.68.

Separated data showed US jobless claims fell to 289K last week, below the 305K expected, which helped to temper USD weakness. At time of writing, USD/JPY is trading at 120.85, recording a 0.48% loss on the day.
