  "summary": "The U.S. dollar traded in the lower 160 yen range in Tokyo on Monday, following a speech by Federal Reserve chief Kevin Warsh that left the door open for a potential interest rate hike. The dollar reached 160.12-13 yen in Tokyo at 9 a.m., surpassing the 160 yen mark in New York for the first time since coordinated Japan-U.S. yen-buying in July. The euro was quoted at $1.1589-1589 and 185.55-56 yen against $1.1577-1587 and 185.36-46 yen in New York, while stocks fell, with the Nikkei Stock Average shedding 1,376.88 points, or 2.07 percent, from Friday's close.",
