Yen advances on global slowdown
The Japanese Yen advanced versus most of the 16 major counterparts as worries that the world's economy is weakening spurred demand for safe haven assets. The Yen strengthened 0.1% to 78.29 per U.S. Dollar from 78.39 on August 31, when the currency touched 78.19, the strongest level since August 13. The Yen climbed 0.1% to 98.48 per Euro.
