Globally the U.S. dollar nursed steep losses on Thursday, hovering near three-month lows as investors digested measures announced by the U.S. Treasury Department to help calm the bond market that had seen long-end yields hit their highest since 2007, Reuters reported.
The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six other units, was at 98.938, around its lowest level since mid-May. The euro was at $1.1676, perched at the highest level since late May.
The Japanese yen last fetched 158.32 per dollar, pulling away from the closely watched 160 level after giving back much of its joint intervention gains from the end of July.
