Yen jumps on intervention threat as dollar pulls back

The yen jumped on Japanese intervention threats while the US dollar pulled back. Central banks in the US, Canada and UK held rates but sounded more hawkish than expected.

Oil gains were supporting Canada's economy unevenly.

WHY IT MATTERS

Hawkish central bank stances and a softer dollar shape currency-driven export competitiveness for US feed ingredients and commodity valuations.
