Heightened Threat of Japanese Intervention Pushes Greenback Away from JPY152

2024-03-27

by

2024-03-27

Overview: The dollar neared JPY152, setting a new 34-year high. This appeared to spur a senior official meeting in Tokyo, ostensibly to talk about the response.

Dollar’s Recent Gains Pared but Firm Undertone Remains Intact

2024-03-26

by

2024-03-26

The Swiss franc is the only G10 currency unable to gain traction against the greenback today. Still, the dollar's pullback has barely met the minimum retracement targets of the jump last Thursday and Friday.

by

2024-03-25

The Taiwanese...
