The dollar eased to around ┬е110.00 in Tokyo trading on Friday in the wake of a drop in U.S. interest rates.
At 5 p.m., the dollar stood at ┬е110.00, down from ┬е110.59 at the same time Thursday. The euro was at $1.1915, down from $1.1954, and at ┬е131.07, down from ┬е132.20.
The dollar moved on a weak note around ┬е110.20 in the morning on the back of a fallback in U.S. long-term interest rates.
The greenback slid to levels around ┬е110.00 in the afternoon, weighed down by the yenтАЩs appreciation against the euro on short-covering buying, a Japanese bank official said.
The Nikkei stock averageтАЩs downturn fueled dollar selling as well.
The Bank of JapanтАЩs decision to maintain its massive easing policy Friday little affected the dollar-yen pair, a brokerage house official said.
