Aussie rises to 20-month high on Japan's economy weakness
The Aussie Dollar rose to the highest level in 20 months versus the Yen as data showed a drop in Japanese consumer prices, fanning speculation for more monetary easing by the central bank. The Australian Dollar traded at 89.83 yen, the strongest since April 2011, before touching 89.67 at 4:01 p.m. in Sydney, up 0.4% from the close yesterday.
