Dollar Falls Against The Yen

The dollar fell against the yen on Wednesday on position squaring, with the near-term focus on whether the minutes of the Federal Reserve's June meeting and a speech by Chairman Ben Bernanke will give fresh ammunition to dollar bulls.

The dollar pulled lower from a six-week high of 101.54 yen set on Monday.

The euro and sterling took a breather after having tumbled the previous day, dented by growing expectations that central banks in the Eurozone and Britain will have to keep policy loose for a long time.

The Australian dollar bounced back after falling earlier on Wednesday as weak Chinese trade data reinforced expectations of a slowdown in China, a major export market for Australia.

Later today, investors will scrutinize the minutes of the Fed's June monetary policy meeting and a speech by Bernanke, watching for fresh hints on when the Fed will start reducing its asset purchases, and whether there will be any catalysts for further dollar buying.
