The Japanese yen (円 or 圓, en, symbol: ¥; code: JPY) is the official currency of Japan. It is the third most traded currency in the foreign exchange market after the United States dollar and the euro. It is also widely used as a reserve currency after the U.S. dollar, the euro, and the pound sterling.
Yen is pronounced "en" [eɴ] in Japanese. The word (Shinjitai: 円, Kyūjitai: 圓) literally means "round" in Japanese, as yuán does in Chinese or won in Korean. Originally, Chinese had traded silver in mass (see sycee) and when Spanish and Mexican silver coins arrived, the Chinese called them 銀圓 (silver round) for their circular shapes, The coins and the name also appeared in Japan. Later, the Chinese replaced 圓 with 元 which has the same pronunciation in Mandarin (but not in Japanese). The Japanese preferred 圓, which remains until now (albeit in its simplified form, 円, since the end of World War II).

However, Danny and his crew won't stand for Bank and what he's done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Bank, the crew is out to pull off a major plan; one that will unfold on the night Bank's newest hot spot opens up.

At the last minute a cyber-friend arrives to join the battle. The mysterious 'Angel.com' battles the virus and saves the company. Invited by Chow Lui for a visit in person, Angel.com arrives in the form of the beautiful Lynn. But it turns out Lynn is a professional assassin with amazing high-tech and kung fu skills. She kills Chow Lui with cyanide hidden in a pair of sunglasses. She's aided by her sister Sue, who operates the pair's World Panorama surveillance system, which allows them to tap into any video security system in the world. Young cop Kong Yat Hong and her partner Mark are put on the case. Hong has a brilliant mind and immediately senses she's dealing with a killer with very special skills. Realizing they are facing a tough adversary, Lynn and Sue become fascinated with Hong as well. Lynn runs into Yan, the cousin of an old friend who died. Lynn and Yan shared an unspoken love in the past which is now rekindled in the open, and Lynn begins to question whether she wants to continue to be an assassin. Chow Nunn was behind his older brother's death. He hired Angel.com to kill Lui because Lui opposed Nunn's business plans, and also because Nunn is carrying on a secret affair with Lui's wife. But when Hong's investigation starts to point to Nunn, Nunn becomes worried and decides to hire Angel.com for another hit ^Ö only so he can double-cross them, wipe them out and prevent them from leading the police back to him. Yan tells Lynn he loves her and wants to marry her. After battling an attack by robbers with her amazing martial arts skills, she tells Yan her family's history. Her father invented the World Panorama for use by the authorities, but was turned down. Suspiciously, word of the device got out to the underworld and both parents were brutally killed in front of the girls' eyes by criminals eager to get their hands on the invention. Bereft at the loss of their parents and disillusioned with the law, the sisters turned professional assassins, killing criminals for other criminals. Lynn tells Sue she wants to stop their criminal life and get married ^Ö she won't accept Chow Nunn's order for the second killing. But Sue, angry and feeling abandoned by Lynn, decides to carry out the killing herself. Lynn realizes what's happening and rushes to save Sue, who doesn't have the skills to carry out the hit. They are attacked by Chow's men but escape. Now the assassin and the cop must join forces - so Sue can avenge her sister's death and Hong can prove her innocence in a spectacular confrontation at Chow Nunn's headquarters...

USD to JPY: Why the Japanese Yen Could Surge Against the U.S. Dollar The Japanese yen may have fallen from grace as the Bank of Japan went ultra-easy with its monetary policy. But things started to change as the USD/JPY pair started to move downward, showing the yen’s strength against the U.S. dollar. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s dovish tone recently added fuel to the fire. The Fed’s stance has been a catalyst for the Japanese yen as of late. Fed Chair Janet Yellen spoke at the Economic Club in New York on Tuesday. While a number of Fed people have been calling for rate hikes as early as April, Yellen is not a fan of the idea. She said that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) would “proceed cautiously in adjusting policy,” and that caution “is especially warranted.” (Source: “The Outlo...
“Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy” reveals how Japanese society was transformed to suit the agenda and desire of powerful interest groups, and how citizens were kept entirely in the dark about this. Based on a book by Professor Richard Werner, a visiting researcher at the Bank of Japan during the 90s crash, during which the stock market dropped by 80% and house prices by up to 84%. The film uncovers the real cause of this extraordinary period in recent Japanese history. Making extensive use of archival footage and TV appearances of Richard Werner from the time, the viewer is guided to a new understanding of what makes the world tick. And discovers that what happened in Japan almost 25 years ago is again repeating itself in Europe. To understand how,...

Talking Points: • The USD/JPY 4.2 percent advance this past week was the largest since November 2009 • Yen crosses were bolstered more by the vow from PM Abe of fresh fiscal stimulus than a lift from risk trends • The combination of risk trends and 'effective' monetary policy implementation are critical for the Yen Read the full article here: https://www.dailyfx.com/forex/video/live_events/2016/07/16/Strategy-Video-Japanese-Yen-Stands-at-Center-of-Key-Risk-Monetary-Policy-Themes.html #news #USDJPY #SP500 @JohnKicklighter

Yen, ma petite fleur vietnamienne
Je t'aimerai quoi qu'il advienne, pose ton coeur tout près du mien
Yen, sèche tes larmes oublie tes peines
Il se peut que tu te souviennes que ceux qui t'aimaient sont trop loin
Vienne, le temps de vivre ton enfance
Dans ta grande maison de France, entourée d'un amour serein
Yen, ma petite fleur vietnamienne
Sèche tes larmes oublie tes peines, pose ton coeur tout près du mien
Yen, que ta vie soit aussi la mienne
Aussi vrai que tes parents t'aiment, dépose ici tous tes fardeaux
Haine, regrets violence et lourdes peines
Et que jamais ils ne reviennent mouiller tes joues d'un filet d'eau
Sème tes rires et ton âme limpides
Et si parfois ton coeur se vide, laisse éclater tous tes sanglots
Aime, puise ta force dans la mienne
Et dans nos coeurs qui t'appartiennent, trouve le creux de ton berceau
Il nous faudra trouver les mots pour t'apprendre à rêver plus haut...
Yen, ma petite fleur vietnamienne
Je serai là quoi qu'il advienne, pose ton coeur tout près du mien
Yen, sèche tes larmes oublie tes peines
Il se peut que tu te souviennes que ceux qui t'aimaient sont trop loin
Vienne le temps de vivre ton enfance
Dans ta grande maison de France, entourée d'un amour serein
Yen, ma petite fleur vietnamienne
Sèche tes larmes oublie tes peines, pose ton coeur tout près du mien
Yen, sèche tes larmes oublie tes peines
Car d'aussi loin que tu reviennes, ce pays est déjà le tien.
Yen, ma petite fleur vietnamienne
