Dollar-yen broke above 155 yen during trading on Sept. 15, rising 0.44% to its highest level in a week. An earlier market account had placed the pair's intraday high at 154.89, but a BlockBeats report later said it topped 155 yen. Expectations for a Federal Reserve rate increase, higher U.S. long-term yields and a potentially wider U.S.-Japan interest-rate differential supported dollar buying. EUR/JPY traded between 178.14 and 178.68 yen, while EUR/USD moved between $1.1533 and $1.1552. The pound weakened against the dollar as markets expected the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee to leave rates unchanged. The Bank of Japan and Federal Reserve were both due to announce policy decisions that week, leaving the currency outlook difficult to assess.
