Analysts say the dollar's recent weakness reflects concerns about US policy direction and investor confidence in US assets, not only the yen. Reports that the New York Fed checked yen rates pushed the yen to its strongest level against the greenback since November.
Broad dollar weakness driven by policy concerns supports dollar-priced commodities, though the yen's role appears secondary to wider flows out of US assets.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
