Yen falls as demand drops amid persisting U.S. debt limit talks

The Japanese Yen fell versus majority of its most-traded counterparts on Friday as local shares increased amid persisting shutdown in the U.S. as lawmakers failed to find an agreement on the new debt limit curbing demand for Yen as a refuge. Yen weakened 0.2% to 98.33 per U.S. Dollar at 8:55 a.m. in London after it dropped 1.5% three days in a row.
