Dollar back on upward track, hits eight-year high vs yen
The dollar rose 1 percent against a basket of currencies on Tuesday, extending gains since a round of improved inflation data last Friday and driving the euro below $1.09 for the first time in a month. Against the yen, it broke through longer-term resistance to hit an eight-year high of 122.76 yen and a number of analysts were optimistic of a push back towards 12-year highs below $1.05 per euro hit in March. The dollar index last traded at 96.956 after reaching a one-month high of 97.109. It stood at $1.0906 per euro, just off a high of $1.0885 and up 0.6 percent on the day. Doubts over whether the U.S. Federal Reserve can raise interest rates this year have been at the heart of a rough few weeks for the dollar and Fed Chair Janet Yellen steadied the ship on Friday by reinforcing the U.S. central bank's tightening bias.
