Dealers said Washington's frequently expressed wish for a lower dollar to boost exports and curb the US trade deficit helped steer the dollar lower. In European trading it went below the psychologically important 190 yen barrier to a 187.75, its lowest since 1978, before recovering to 188.25 Dealers said it was likely to fall still further this week. * HOLIDAYS GALORE!! * 580
