The dollar rose to 147.70 yen in Tokyo trading Friday for the first time since August 1990, 32 years ago.
As the U.S. consumer price index rose by 8.2% in September, exceeding market expectations, the belief that the U.S. Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates drove a sharp move to buy up dollars and sell the yen, an advantageous play for investors.
