The Yen Pulls Back From 7 Week High
Friday, 4 Sep 2009
The Japanese Yen weakened against 14 of its 16 major counterparts on Thursday on speculation Asian stocks will extend a global equity rally, spurring demand for higher-yielding assets. The JPY retreated from a 7 week high against the U.S Dollar as higher share prices prompted investors to trim holdings of the low-risk Japanese currency.
The Yen's retreat also occurred due to a rally in Chinese shares prompting investors to trim holdings of the low-risk JPY. Japan's currency may decline for a second day versus the EUR as futures on the Nikkei 225 Stock Average expiring in September closed at 10,235 in New York yesterday, higher than 10,230 in Osaka.
