The dollar slid further to a fresh 2-1/2-year low against the yen on Monday, in line with falls in U.S. equities, as renewed credit worries affirmed expectations that more U.S. rate cuts are imminent. Investors are on edge about fallout from the credit crunch as the approaching year-end may force them to dump assets or scramble for cash to get books in order in strained markets. Worries about the U.S. economy and expectations for additional Federal Reserve interest rate cuts have caused the dollar's broad tumble.
