The US Dollar is trading higher on Friday, approaching the 153.50 area supported by the widening gap between US and Japanese Treasury yields, as hopes of a BoJ hike next week fade.

The Yen extends losses on dovish BoJ comments and higher US Yields. Hopes of gradual easing by the Fed are keeping the US Dollar buoyed. US data seen this week revealed that inflation pressures are picking up. A Bloomberg report citing BoJ officials revealed that the bank sees little cost in waiting to hike rates. These comments have boosted speculation that the Bank will keep rates on hold next week hammering the Yen across the board.
