Tokyo: The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, added 0.05% to 98.17 as the yen weakened to a two-month low against the dollar.
According to Oman News Agency, the yen lost 0.2% to 150.59 per dollar and earlier touched 150.62, marking its weakest level since 1 August 2025. Japan’s currency also skidded to 176.35 per euro, reflecting its ongoing struggle against major global currencies.
The euro remained mostly stable at $1.1705. However, it slid against the dollar and the pound in the previous session following the resignation of France’s new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and his government on Monday.
