Dollar holds steady as yen hovers near seven-month high at 153.49 ahead of Fed and BOJ meetings
AI Market Summary

The dollar was steady on Monday, while the yen held onto recent gains and hovered near a seven-month high as markets awaited this week’s policy meetings from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Oil prices, pushed well above $100 a barrel by the six-month U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, have complicated the global interest-rate outlook, Reuters reported. After U.S. consumer prices accelerated in August, traders priced in an 86% chance of a Fed hike this week, with the possibility of another increase later in the year. The euro was at $1.159, sterling at $1.3524, and the dollar at 153.49 yen.
