Reuters: The dollar rose above 110 yen for the first time since August 2008 on Wednesday, continuing to ride on bullish momentum against its peers generated by gains against a flagging euro. The dollar had jumped more than 5% against the yen last month, buoyed by factors including enhanced prospects for an early rate hike by the Federal Reserve. The dollar was up 0.4% at 109.98 JPY= after touching 110.09. The euro was down 0.2% at $1.2612 EUR=, having retreated to a fresh two-year low of $1.2571 overnight as a further slowdown in euro zone inflation intensified pressure for more stimulus from the European Central Bank.
