Yesterday the US dollar slipped lower against the yen as declines in Japanese equities supported the safe haven demand for the Japanese currency.

The Nikkei was sharply lower, amid sustained fears over a credit squeeze in China, despite the country’s central bank’s assurance that it was acting to support the financial institutions with liquidity. The Asian stocks markets’ falls were followed by the Japanese Corporate Services Price Index for May, which showed a modest but positive y/y rise of 0.3 percent to 96.3, following a -0.3 reading in April.
