Globally the dollar held gains against the yen on Friday, but ended the week lower after a six-week winning streak, as investors await Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration and clarity on the course of the incoming administration’s policies, Reuters reported.
The yen climbed more than 1% against the dollar this week, reversing last week’s decline, and touched a one-month high of 154.98 per dollar earlier on Friday.
The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six other units, went up 0.34% at 109.33, away from a more than two-year high touched at the start of the week.
