Weaker US Dollar Amid Yen Surge
The US Dollar Index (DXY) traded lower, primarily due to a sharp rally in the Japanese Yen which saw the USD/JPY pair fall to a six-month low. The greenback also softened against the British Pound amid thin trading conditions, contributing to its overall weakness against a basket of major currencies.
