DOLLAR GAINS SUPPORT FROM HIGHER YIELDS AS MIDDLE EAST AND TRADE WARS RAISE INFLATION RISKS

The dollar was underpinned by higher U.S. Treasury yields on Friday and hovered near a 40-year peak against the yen, as a spike in oil prices and a renewed global trade war raised the stakes for inflation.

Sterling ‌languished around a three-week low and bought $1.3310 in Asia trade, after sliding nearly 0.5% in the previous session against a resurgent dollar.
