Comment: The dollar edged higher in early European trade Tuesday, boosted by rising U.S. Treasury yields as traders position for the Federal Reserve tapering its bond-buying program this year after last week’s policy-setting meeting. USD/JPY rose 0.3% to 111.29, climbing to levels not seen since early July. The yen also weakened ahead of a ruling party election on Wednesday that will decide Japan’s new prime minister, with frontrunners Taro Kono and Fumio Kishida both backing more stimulus to support the pandemic recovery.
