Yen declines on China's manufacturing, N. Korea's test of nuclear weapons
Japan's currency fell as improving manufacturing in China curbed demand for safety of the Yen, along with North Korea's test of nuclear weapons that damped investors' interest in region's assets. The Yen weakened 0.8% to 89.33 per U.S. Dollar after strengthening 1.7% during the previous 3 days. Japan's currency touched 90.25 on January 21, the lowest level since June 2010.
