The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) recorded today at 103.55 points.
The dollar index is near a two-month high, up 1.6% in August and on track to snap a two-month losing streak.
Currency markets are quiet ahead of the Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium, with investors awaiting a message from Chairman Jerome Powell, said Christopher Wong, a currency strategist at OCBC in Singapore.
Japan will stop intervening in the foreign exchange market unless the yen breaks above 150 per dollar, Reuters reported.
The USD exchange rate is currently at 146.125 JPY/USD, near a nine-month high.
"The authorities usually don't have specific intentions. But key levels like 150 are important for political reasons," said Atsushi Takeuchi, head of the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) foreign exchange department.
Mr. Takeuchi said that public sentiment is the key factor. Businesses and households in Japan are closely watching the yen's every move. Worries about a weakening yen have been around for less than a year. However, the yen is still likely to strengthen again as Japan has boosted its tourism and service industries.
“Public dissatisfaction with the weakening yen is not as high as last year. I don’t think Prime Minister Kishida will be under so much pressure that he has to take action,” the expert said.
The yen fell sharply last year, raising the cost of imported fuel and food and hurting households whose wages have not kept pace. That prompted Tokyo to take a rare step to support the currency.
Japan has previously focused on preventing the yen from rising sharply, which would hurt its export-dependent economy.
Under Japanese law, the government has authority over monetary policy. The BOJ acts as an agency of the Ministry of Finance, deciding when to intervene.
The euro rose 0.07% to $1.0852, off a two-month low. The Australian dollar rose 0.40% to $0.645, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.29% to $0.596.
