Euro rises to 10-month high versus yen

LONDON: The euro rose to a 10-month high versus a broadly weaker yen on Wednesday, on expectations that euro zone interest rates will rise in April, in contrast to forecasts for a prolonged period of monetary easing in Japan.

The euro rose to 117.01 yen, according to Reuters data, its highest since May 2010. Traders said system accounts were being forced to sell yen against most of the major currencies, including the dollar, which traded at three-week highs of 83.14 yen
