Mighty U.S. dollar has become "mortal" -analysts

By Wayne Cole

SYDNEY, Oct 8 (Reuters) - The high-flying dollar is falling to earth as financial market concerns turn from Japan to the health for
the U.S. economy, and further declines against the yen are possible, analysts said on Wednesday.

The U.S. dollar overnight suffered its biggest one day fall against the yen in 25 years, losing more than 11 yen to a 12-month
trough of 118.90. Against the mark it fell to 1.6160/70 from 1.6290/00 on Tuesday.

By mid-morning in Tokyo on Thursday it had recovered some ground to stand at 121.30/40.

The collapse cleaved a major trendline bulwark stretching back to April 1995 when the dollar had been wallowing at 79.70 yen and with it went all thought of a
recovery.

''We now have the beginnings of a serial bear market in the U.S. the dollar which will last many quarters if not years,'' Westpac market strategist Peter Pontikas told
Reuters Television.

''People are going back to basics,'' said Tim Moloney, a currency analyst at Deutsche Bank here.
