On the downside, the Japanese currency may target support levels at 78.0 against the aussie and 64.60 against the kiwi.

The yen declined to an 8-day low of 84.16 against the Canadian dollar by 8:40 pm ET and this may be compared to Wednesday's North American session closing quote of 83.84. On the downside, the yen may test support around the 86.0 level.
