SINGAPORE, April 12 (Reuters) – The dollar stayed within
striking distance of 100 yen on Friday and was poised for its
biggest two-week rise in four years, with the Bank of Japan’s
radical stimulus seen likely to keep the yen under pressure.

The greenback has gained roughly 7 percent from 92.90 yen
since the BOJ pledged last week to inject about $1.4 trillion
into the Japanese economy to end decades of deflation and
achieve its target of 2 percent inflation.

SINGAPORE/SYDNEY, April 9 (Reuters) – The yen pushed deeper
into multi-year lows against the dollar and euro on Tuesday as
the market saw every reason to sell the currency with the
Japanese central bank on a warpath to battle deflation.

The dollar rose to as high as 99.67 yen on trading
platform EBS, the greenback’s strongest level versus the yen
since May 2009. The dollar later pulled back on profit-taking
and last stood at 99.23 yen, down 0.2 percent on the day.

inched lower versus the dollar on Wednesday, with trading
largely characterized by a lack of conviction as markets awaited
policy decisions by the Bank of Japan and European Central Bank
on Thursday.

Yen bears are worried the BOJ, in its first policy review
under new governor Haruhiko Kuroda, might not live up to
expectations, as markets are already positioned for aggressive
stimulus measures.
