▫️ Japanese Yen: The dollar is up almost 1% against the yen this week, trading at 157.11 yen. Despite rising Japanese bond yields, the yen remains weak due to attractive dollar carry and market concerns over inflation.
▫️ Australian Dollar: The Aussie dollar slipped to $0.6592, down 1.4% for the week, failing to hold a key chart level of $0.6650.
▫️ New Zealand Dollar: The kiwi remains 0.6% weaker on the week at $0.6098, despite support from a hawkish Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

▫️ Chinese Yuan: The yuan was steady at 7.2454 per dollar, eyeing its steepest one-week fall since March amid ongoing China-Taiwan tensions.
