Khanani & Kalia International (Pvt) Limited Weekly Market Review on Sunday (August 31, 2008).
The greenback posted its biggest monthly advance against the euro since the European currency began trading in 1999 and its longest gain versus the yen since 2002. The yen appreciated against all of the other major currencies after Japan's government announced plans to spend about 2 trillion yen ($18 billion) to revive the world's second-largest economy.
