Wednesday in Asia, the yen rose to near a 2-week high against the U.S. dollar and it recouped early losses against other major currencies on risk aversion amid growing concerns about the political turmoil in Libya and surging crude oil prices.
Latest reports say that embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi rejected calls for his resignation in a defiant speech on state television. Gadhafi, who has been in power in Libya for over 40 years, has seen his stranglehold over the North African nation wane in the wake of massive protests that have overwhelmed the country over the last couple of days.
Most Asian stocks declined. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index is currently down by 87.94 points or 0.8% at 10,576.11.
In economic news, Japan posted a merchandise trade deficit of 471.4 billion yen in January, the Ministry of Finance said today. That came as a shock to analysts, who had been expecting a surplus of 49.3 billion yen following the downwardly revised surplus of 725.9 billion yen in December.
Meanwhile, an index measuring corporate service prices in Japan was down 1.1 percent on year in January, the Bank of Japan said, standing at 96.1. That was slightly better than forecasts for a 1.3 percent annual contraction. Prices were down 0.3 percent on month following a 0.2 percent decline in December.
The yen is currently trading near a 2-week high of 82.55 against the US dollar with 82.0 seen as the next upside target level. At yesterday’s close, the dollar-yen pair was quoted at 82.82.
The yen is now worth 113.10 against the euro, 88.10 against the franc and 133.57 against the pound, compared to early Asian session lows of 113.61, 88.44 and 134.16, respectively. The yen closed yesterday’s trading at 113.07 against the euro, 133.67 against the pound and 88.25 against the franc.
The yen slipped to 83.16 against the Aussie before bouncing back in early Wednesday Asian deals at 8:00 pm ET. As of now, the yen is trading near yesterday’s close of 82.75.
The yen that fell to 83.86 against the Canadian dollar at 8 pm ET rebounded thereafter. Currently, the loonie-yen pair is worth 83.50, compared to yesterday’s close of 83.60.
At present, the yen is worth 61.75 against the NZ dollar, compared to an early Asian session low of 62.27. The kiwi-yen pair closed yesterday’s trading at 61.85.
Looking ahead, France CPI and Swiss producer and import price index – both for January, Bank of England’s minutes for February meeting and the Eurozone industrial new orders for December are expected in the upcoming European session.
The U.S. existing home sales for January is due in the New York morning.
わたしは最近、薄毛に悩んでいました。
52歳、主婦です。
さまざまな育毛方法を試しましたが、変わらない。
育毛できないと思っていた時に、友達からこちらにありますマイナチュレをすすめられました。
実際に使って、2週間で効果がありました。
育毛剤を選ぶカギは素材にいらない添加剤が混ざってなく香りが気にならないもの。
使い方がシンプルで副作用がなくしっかりした育毛効き目があるものになり、髪と頭皮の栄養剤である為に言うまでもなく成分量も重要です。
浸透力があるかもポイントです。頭皮の奥深くの毛包まで成分が行き渡らなければ無駄になりますので、材料が低分子となっているのが重要です。
こちらのWEBページで公開されている育毛剤は全て購入者の使用感に基づいた評価で育毛剤が公開されています。
リサーチしてご覧になってください。
絶対に一人一人に条件通りの育毛剤が探し出せると思います。
Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
own weblog and was curious what all is needed
to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading very slow for
me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Very good website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really love to be a part of community where I
can get responses from other knowledgeable people that share the
same interest. If you have any recommendations, please
let me know. Kudos!
I wanted to thank you for this fantastic read!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I have you saved as a favorite to check out new stuff you post…
It’s amazing in favor of me to have a web site, which is
beneficial in support of my knowledge. thanks admin
Your mode of describing all in this paragraph is genuinely fastidious, all be able to easily understand it, Thanks a lot.
アンファーから新発売されてとてつもない人気となったメンズ専用ケア商品、それがスカルプDです。
発表されたのは１９９９年ですから実にもうかなりの年月が経っていますが、今や人気の減らない売れ筋男性専用シャンプーです。
それまでのシャンプーというのは、男性専用ということがなく、どちらかというと家族共用だったり女性向けシャンプーを使う人や石鹸で済ます人が多かったのです。
しかし潜在的なメンズ需要に気づいたアンファーは、男性専用しかも成人男性に多い脂肌や乾燥肌といった症状に適したシャンプーとコンディショナーを開発したのです。
これにより今までになかった新たな｛ニーズ|要望|悩み相場|市場｝が開拓され、スカルプDは｛驚異的に|それまでにない|驚くべき|ものすごい|爆発的に｝ヒットしました。
｛世間|現代|実社会|ストレス社会|世の中｝の｛脱毛|抜け毛|細毛|薄毛｝に｛気にする|落ち込む|凹む|悩む｝男の子向けや、フケかゆみに悩む男の子向けにとって、スカルプDはまさに｛新たな神|神|救いの神のような|守護神||救世主｝的な｛存在|位置づけ|働き｝となったのです。
Thanks for some other magnificent post. Where else may just anyone
get that kind of info in such an ideal approach of writing?
I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
