Yen Climbs to Six-Month High as Rate Outlooks Shift

Published

on

The yen’s U-turn continued Monday in Asia, with the currency strengthening to a more than six-month high against the dollar as the greenback softened in holiday-thinned trade.

The yen rose to its strongest intraday level since late February, extending a recovery that gathered momentum last week as markets became more convinced that the Bank of Japan is preparing to raise interest rates. The dollar was last 1.2% lower at 154.38 yen after touching 154.04 earlier.
