Dollar hits five-year high against Japanese yen
美元兑日元汇率升至五年高位
美元兑日元汇率近日跃升至五年高位，分析师称这可能预示着美元将在2022年全线走高。该迹象表明市场对新冠病毒Omicron变种的担忧正在消退。
The dollar jumped on Tuesday to a five-year high against the Japanese yen as traders cranked up their bets on Federal Reserve interest rate rises, in a move that analysts say could herald broader gains for the US currency in 2022.
A 0.7 per cent rise for the dollar carried it above ¥116 for the first time since early 2017. The gains are a sign that fears over the Omicron coronavirus variant are ebbing in markets, leaving traders to focus on the outlook for monetary policy in the US and elsewhere, according to Lee Hardman, a currency analyst at MUFG.
