The yen fell to 6-day lows of 144.67 against the euro, 164.76 against the pound and 132.74 against the U.S. dollar, from Friday's closing quotes of 144.01, 163.99 and 132.14, respectively.
Moving away from Friday's closing value of 145.95 against the Swiss franc, the yen declined to nearly a 4-week low of 146.49.
