EconomyYen trades in 163-per-dollar range as demand for dollar grows

In Tokyo foreign-exchange trading on the 22nd, the yen weakened into the 163-yen-per-dollar range during the morning session. The move came as tensions surrounding Iran intensified and crude-oil futures showed an upward trend. Market participants increasingly sold yen and bought the dollar, which is regarded as relatively resilient during emergencies. The dollar-buying trend pushed the yen lower in early trading.
