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.



体型が気にかかるようになるのは、暑くなってきて薄着になる頃です。
足腰やうでについたお肉は、寒いうちは気になりませんが、暑くなってくるとこれは焦りますよね。イメージの体型が崩れれば取り返しがつかなくなってしまうので、事態が深刻化する前に対策を打つべきでしょう。ダイエットをどうにかこうにか進めるためには食生活を改めることが絶対条件となります。太りやすいメニューは避けて健康的な食事に配慮することが痩せたいを実現するポイントです。痩せたいのためにできるだけ食べないようにしても身体が最低限必要とする栄養成分は欠かさず補充しておくことです。摂取すべき栄養は確保し、人間の身体によいと言われている食生活をすることと太りやすい食物の摂取を制限することは、どちらも大事です。メニメニピープルが毎度の食事で一番ボリュームのある食事は夕食になっているようですが、夜ご飯は、炭水化物を控え目にしましょう。食事が済んだ後に高血糖にならないようにするには白米やパンなどから口にせずに季節のやさいの料理など食物繊維の多いお皿から食べるようにしましょう。ダイエット期間中はごはんなどよりもタンパク質を含む食品を使った食事を中心にするとスリム化しやすくなります。取りにくい内臓脂肪を燃やすためにはやっぱり運動ですね。運動やスポーツと並行して、食事のとり方を工夫してカロリー制限を行います。スリムになりたいを実現させるためのポイントは苦しくならないように続けていけるようにしたらいいと思います。

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I
found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her
ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
I am impressed with this web site, real I am a fan.
