FOREX-Yen trips past 160-per-dollar to April 1990 lows
The Japanese yen hit its weakest levels since April 1990 on Monday, in trading thinned by a holiday in Japan and attempts by traders to test key levels and stop-loss orders in a nervous, illiquid market. The dollar rose as far as 160.245 yen in a sudden move after the yen traded in a narrow 158.05-158.15 range in early deals. A portfolio manager said "stops" on the pair at the key 160 level had been "taken out", meaning the yen's descent had forced those with long yen holdings and stop-loss orders around that big level to square positions, exacerbating its slide.
