Fundamental

The yen rose, paring its biggest quarterly decline against the euro in five years, after Moody's Investors Service raised Japan's local-currency debt rating.
The yen pared a daily decline of as much as 0.3 percent after Moody's said Japanese banks had avoided the worst effects of the credit crisis. Japan had its rating raised one level by Moody's, which said the government will keep trying to restrain spending to reduce debt. The Yen traded at 105.78 against the dollar from 106.13 last week and 99.69 last quarter.
