27 November 2009 @ 05:40 pm EDT

The greenback strengthened against most of its counterparts on Friday as investors cut risk exposure amid concerns of a possible Dubai debt default. Although the dollar nose-dived against the Japanese yen to a 14-year low at 84.82 in Australian trading, the pair then rebounded strongly at Tokeyo opening after Japan Finance Minister Fujii said that he was flexible about contacting with the currency authorities in the U.S. and Europe in response to the yen’s recent surge. Usd/jpy later rallied to 87.02, eur/jpy jumped from 126.95 to 130.16, gpb/jpy surged from 139.33 to 143.48 while aud/jpy rose from 76.58 to 79.18 in New York morning.
