Dollar slides further as yen gains in Tokyo market
The dollar fell to 194.50 yen intraday and closed at 195.05 in Tokyo trading, with volume around 870 million dollars. Tourists could exchange about 192.90 yen per dollar at major hotels while a Kobe beef dinner for two nears 100 dollars. The long decline reflects Japan’s trade surplus with the United States, and Prime Minister Fukuda warned that an anti inflation policy in the U.S. is needed to curb the surplus.
