Dollar Rises as Yen Falls to Two-Month Low

Tokyo: The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, added 0.05% to 98.17, while the yen weakened to a two-month low against the dollar. The yen lost 0.2% to 150.59 per dollar and earlier touched 150.62, marking its weakest level since August 1. In addition to its decline against the dollar, Japan's currency also fell to 176.35 per euro.

According to Qatar News Agency, the euro was little changed at $1.1705. However, it experienced a slide against the dollar and the pound in the previous session. This decline followed the resignation of France's new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and his government on Monday.
