Dollar Falls to Lowest Since May Amid Yen Surge and Waller Comments
The US dollar hit its weakest level since May after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller's comments on inflation progress. This news, combined with a surge in the yen against major counterparts, led to the dollar's decline.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell by 0.6% on Thursday, marking its worst day in over two weeks. The yen was at the forefront of gains among peers in the Group of 10, rising about 2% versus the greenback.
