Yen Slumps To 32 - Year Low Against Dollar
The yen has again weakened against the US dollar.
It fell to the upper-147 level for the first time in 32 years.
That came after US consumer data were slightly higher than expected.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the consumer price index in September rose 8.2 percent from a year earlier.
Investors saw that as a sign the Fed would keep raising interest rates.
They stepped up their moves to buy the dollar and sell the yen.
