Headline: Japan sprays more cash over jittery markets
Japan's central bank sprayed more cash over jittery money markets Thursday as a major bank's ATMs suffered a two and a half hour outage nationwide and the yen shot to a record high.
The Bank of Japan injected an additional 6 trillion yen ($76.7 billion) in same-day funds after the dollar hit 76.25 yen in the morning -- an all-time low for the greenback in the aftermath of Friday's earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands and triggered an unfolding nuclear crisis. With same-day funds, banks in need can access cash immediately.
