Yen extends rally to new seven-month high; dollar subdued ahead of CPI
The Japanese yen rose to a seven-month high near 153 per dollar as traders bet on faster Bank of Japan rate hikes. A weaker dollar lifted the euro and pound slightly. Markets now watch US inflation data ahead of the Fed meeting. For Indian businesses, a strong yen can make Japanese imports costlier, while a softer dollar may ease some pressure. Keep an eye on currency moves.
