Dollar dives.

The dollar fell to 12-year lows against the yen, dropping to less than 100 yen, and hit record lows against the euro, as Asian/European markets and U.S. equity futures dived in overnight trading , raising concerns of more turmoil in the financial markets.

"Investors are getting out of dollar assets and this is going to lead to a dollar crash," a Tokyo currency manager said.

On four previous occasions since 1995, Japanese authorities have sold the yen when it approached the 100 mark to support its country's exports.
