Yen hits 24-year low, 140 level beckons as hike bets buoy dollar

The dollar rose broadly on Thursday, particularly against the yen, as investors braced for higher U.S. interest rates while expecting anchored Japanese rates to go nowhere anytime soon.

If you have to spin slot wallet 500 times, the jackpot to exit, and the highest bet on all eyes, it's definitely going to be cool.

The greenback hit a 24-year high of 139.69 against the yen in early Asia trade, a gain of about 0.5 per cent on the previous day's close. It was last up 0.42 per cent at 139.55.

"The main driver remains rate differentials between Japan and the U.S., and even today's price action just follows the overnight move higher in U.S. rates. And we think the path ahead is going to depend on how U.S. rates behave," said Sosuke Nakamura, a strategist at JPMorgan in Tokyo.

Expectations for a 75-basis-point U.S. rate hike at next month's Federal Reserve meeting are rising on the back of solid economic data, with Fed funds futures last pointing to a 75 per cent chance of such an increase.

"So long as expectations for the peak in the Fed funds rate keep ratcheting higher while the Bank of Japan remains on hold, dollar/yen will be a buy on dips. Anywhere in the low 140s now looks plausible," said Sean Callow, a currency strategist at Westpac in Sydney.

However, a senior finance ministry official said on Thursday that Japan was watching currency moves with a "high sense of urgency".

The surging dollar also pinned other major currencies down in Asia trade, with sterling falling about 0.4 per cent to a new 2-1/2 year low of $1.1570 as clouds gathered over the British economy. The pound lost 4.6 per cent in August, its steepest monthly decline since October 2016.

The risk-sensitive Australian and New Zealand dollars likewise hit their lowest levels since July, with the Aussie down 0.7 per cent to $0.67925, while the kiwi fell 0.7 per cent to $0.6077.
