JPY - Yen at a 7 Month high versus the Dollar

The Yen registered sharp gains Friday, breaching the significant Y90.00 barrier against the Dollar and reaching the highest levels versus the greenback in over 7 months. Japan's currency benefited from supportive comments from Japan's finance minister Hirohisa Fujii who said that he opposes intentional devaluation of the Yen.

The JPY advanced 1.8% this week to 89.64 per Dollar from 91.29 on Sept. 18, briefly touching 89.51 Friday, the strongest level since Feb. 5. The currency also gained 2% to 131.70 per ERU, from 134.33.
