That kind of support is meant to lower interest rates, which tends to make a currency less attractive to investors.
In morning trading in New York, the dollar is trading at 81.86 Japanese yen, down from 81.88 yen late Friday. In overnight trading, the dollar had bottomed at 80.64 yen, its weakest level since early November, just above the post-war low of 79.75 yen struck in 1995.
