# At 10 a.m., yen pares gains to the upper 157 range; dollar buying dominates at the fixing, traders say

> The yen was at 157.81–82 per dollar at 10 a.m. in Tokyo, up 37 sen from the previous day’s 5 p.m. level, after strengthening on risk aversion amid falling Japanese and US equities. Domestic importers’ dollar demand and position unwinding helped pare the yen’s gains; the euro also weakened against the dollar.
