Yen gains for 2nd straight session
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Japanese yen continues a firm ascent against the US dollar, bouncing back from the seven year low seen earlier in the last week.
At time of writing, USD/JPY trades lower at 118.78 levels, down -0.74% on the day, close to day’s low of 118.69 levels.

The weakness in YS dollar across its major peers also added to the gains in the Japanese yen.
