USDJPY Opens At 6-Year Highs, Extreme ‘Relative Strength’ Signals 30% Drop Potential

Siemens is expected to pay low- to mid-$80s per share, the sources said, compared with Dresser-Rand’s Friday closing price of $79.91, which already had been boosted by takeover speculation in the past several days. A representative for Siemens declined to comment and a representative for Dresser-Rand could not immediately be reached.
