LONDON/SINGAPORE—The yen strengthened on Tuesday on news of a meeting of Japan’s finance ministry and central bank, while elsewhere the dollar rose to a two-month high against a basket of its peers after the U.S. debt ceiling deal.
The dollar was last down 0.18 percent against the Japanese yen at 140.18 after the country’s finance ministry said senior officials from the Ministry of Finance, Bank of Japan, and Financial Services Agency will meet from 5:30 p.m. (0830 GMT).
