SINGAPORE, Dec 27 (Reuters) – The yen hit a two-year low

against the dollar on Thursday, reflecting expectations that the

Japan’s currency and implement aggressive stimulus.

The dollar rose as high as 85.78 yen on trading platform EBS

as of 0113 GMT, the greenback’s highest level since September

2010. The dollar last stood at 85.75 yen, up 0.2 percent

on the day.
