Yen Falls on Rising US Yields, Dollar Soft Again

The yen fell as US Treasury yields rallied ahead of the Jackson Hole symposium, while the dollar was soft overall. Yen, dollar and Swiss franc were the weakest performers for the week.

WHY IT MATTERS

Routine FX commentary with no direct change to feed supply or demand; a weaker dollar can slightly support dollar-priced commodities.
