Dollar rises above 85 yen for 1st time in 20 months

TOKYO, Japan - A display at an office in Tokyo of money broker Gaitame.com Co. shows the U.S. dollar trading above the 85 yen line and the Nikkei stock index at around 10,110 in the morning of Dec. 26, 2012. The U.S. currency climbed above the 85 yen line for the first time in 20 months in Tokyo the same day, and the gain was attributed to continued expectations that Japan's incoming prime minister, Shinzo Abe, would push the Bank of Japan to further ease monetary policy.
