TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Friday that he would closely watch foreign exchange market moves as the dollar fell to a 17-month low against the yen in response to a dovish statement from the Federal Reserve.
"I won't comment on this kind of subject, but I will pay close attention to market moves," Aso told reporters after a cabinet meeting, when asked about a yen's rise to the dollar and its effects on the Japanese economy.
The dollar had fallen to a low of 110.65 yen
