Since then, the Yen showed relative strength, reaching a value of about 89 Yen to 1 US$ in January 09. The dollar strengthened in the spring, reaching over 100 ¥ earlier this year. Since May, it had bounced between 92 and 99 ¥, but the $ has been sliding lately. On Oct 29, 1009 the closing exchange rate was 1$ = 91.525 ¥. The 52wk Range is: 87.1100 - 101.4800. So, where will the US$ end up v. the Yen on Friday November 6, 2009? Settlement will be based on the closing price reported on http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-investing on November 6, 2009.
