USD/JPY Eases Back to 120.70 as Risk Appetite Wanes

The yen held onto sizable gains early on Tuesday, having staged a broad short-covering rally as a big drop in oil prices hit global risk appetite.

Both the dollar and euro fell from multi-year peaks with the greenback sliding to 120.67 yen, from a high of 121.86. The common currency retreated to 148.59 yen from 149.79.

Commodity currencies were hit particularly hard. The Australian dollar fell to 99.79 yen reaching a low last seen on Nov. 11. It has since drifted back to 100.08 yen.
