: Heavy Dollar selling continues to the benefit of G10 peers, as USD/JPY hits fresh lows of 156.55 from 158.20 c. 90mins ago; headline newsflow remains sparse.

What it means

The persistent selling of the Dollar is driving USD/JPY to fresh lows, suggesting a shift in sentiment that is benefiting G10 currencies. This decline from 158.20 to 156.55 indicates a significant loss of support for the Dollar, which may raise questions about underlying factors like rate expectations or risk appetite, even with minimal headline news affecting the markets.
