LONDON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Japan's yen bounced sharply in

early European trading on Friday, as traders swooped back into

the currency after its worst four-day run in years.

The Japanese currency had lost 2% against the dollar in the

previous two days as worries about the impact of the coronavirus

on Asia had spread, but its early burst in London left it up

0.5% on the day at 111.5 yen. JPY=
