Globally the U.S. dollar was slightly higher on Monday in quiet trading overall, as investors digested U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to end his re-election campaign, a scenario which could inject more volatility into the currency market, Reuters reported.
Against the yen, however, the dollar weakened after two straight days of gains.
Market participants also looked to next week's crucial Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan monetary policy meetings. The Fed could signal it is ready to start its easing cycle by its next meeting in September, while the BOJ, in contrast, could start to raise interest rates, giving the yen a bit of a boost.
