D) NEWS
-The yen fell to seven-week lows against the euro and the Australian and New Zealand dollars after global stocks rallied, encouraging carry-trade investors to borrow in Japan to buy higher-yielding assets elsewhere.
- The dollar had its biggest increase versus the euro since Aug. 30 as charts of the currencies’ moves suggested the euro is due to fall from an all-time high. Europe’s currency reached a record for an eighth straight day.
-The dollar pared gains versus the euro after the Institute for Supply Management said manufacturing in the U.S. grew in September at the slowest pace in six months, raising concern the housing slump was hobbling other parts of the U.S. economy. The Tempe, Arizona-based ISM’s index of factory activity fell to 52 from 52.9 in August.
