Yen remains stable before BOJ

Currency markets were focused on the yen as it held steady before the Bank of Japan. The move places the Japanese currency in focus ahead of the central bank’s upcoming decision, without a clear shift in its position reported in the available information.

Treasuries gain as AI jitters spread

U.S. Treasury prices rallied as AI-related jitters shaped market activity. The Treasury move was one of the main developments in the broader market picture, alongside the yen’s stability.

Dollar faces pressure
