Globally the dollar was firm on Thursday, hovering near a one-week high as Treasury yields rose and investor appetite for riskier currencies dimmed, while the yen breached 150 per dollar to keep traders jittery about the prospect of intervention, Reuters reported.
The Japanese yen touched a fresh one-year low of 150.32 per dollar overnight and was last at 150.26.
The Australian dollar slid to an 11-month low of $0.6276 and was last down 0.35% at $0.6287. A surprisingly high reading for inflation on Wednesday stoked expectations of a further hike in interest rates.
