USD/JPY hits 2-month high above 100.00

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The USD/JPY extended gains during the European session and briefly rose above the 100.00 mark Thursday to print its highest in 2 months.

The USD/JPY rose to a high of 100.03 helped by comments from Japan's finance minister Aso who said currency intervention was still a policy option. However, the USD/JPY failed to hold above 100.00 for long and it is currently trading at the 99.95 area, threatening daily highs, recording a 0.7% gain on the day.
