SINGAPORE : The dollar fell to a seven-month low against major peers on Monday while the yen spiked to an over seven-month peak as traders ramped up bets that the Bank of Japan may make further tweaks to its yield control policy at its meeting this week.
Against a basket of currencies, the U.S. dollar index slumped 0.46 per cent to a seven-month trough at 101.79, as the greenback extended its selloff from last week after data showed that U.S consumer prices fell for the first time in more than 2-1/2 years in December. "An entrenched disinflation trend can reinforce expectations that the Fed could again scale back on its pace of hike beyond the February FOMC or even position for an earlier pause or dovish pivot."
The yen jumped more than 0.4 per cent to a high of 127.24 per dollar, and last bought 127.38 per dollar.
