TOKYO, March 9(Xinhuanet)-- The US dollar remained weak in the upper 104 yen range Wednesday in Tokyo after falling in overseas deals, due partly to concern about a large US current-account deficit.

At 5 p.m.(0800 GMT), the dollar was quoted at 104.60-63 yen against Tuesday's 5 p.m. quotes of 104.62-72 yen in New York and 105.00-02 yen in Tokyo.

It moved between 104.50 yen and 104.77 yen during the day, trading most often at 104.70 yen.

The euro was quoted at 1.3354-3357 dollar and 139.71-75 yen, compared with 1.3341-3351 dollar and 139.66-76 yen at 5 p.m. Tuesday in New York.

The dollar, which fell versus the yen in overnight trading overseas in line with its weakness against the euro, remained lackluster in directionless trading in Tokyo, dealers said.

They said the market was little affected by the Japanese government's upgraded assessment of the index of coincident economic indicators for the first time in 16 months.
