reuters.com/markets/currencies/yen-feels-heat-us-treasury-yields-climb-2024-04-09/
Quick Glance: Dollar Stagnates Despite Rising US Treasury Yields
- The dollar displayed hesitation on Tuesday as it did not receive significant support from the increase in U.S. Treasury yields, maintaining pressure on the yen near multi-decade lows and keeping traders vigilant for potential interventions.
- The greenback rose by 0.03% to 151.87 yen, near a 34-year high of 151.975 yen from the previous month, while Japanese officials intensified efforts to defend the currency.
- Despite the uptick in U.S. Treasury yields, the dollar failed to garner substantial backing as traders reevaluate their outlook on the pace and extent of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts anticipated in the latter part of this year.
- The robustness observed in commodity prices appears indicative of - one could almost label it as - a global reflation trade. In other developments, the Aussie declined by 0.01% to $0.6604, and the Chinese yuan was positioned at 7.2437 per dollar in the offshore market.

Quick Glance: 28 Years Later: Cast Revealed with Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes
- Sony Pictures' work on 28 Years Later is progressing, as Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have all signed up to join Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s post-apocalyptic follow-up, according to Deadline.
- The three stars are now attached to the first of a planned three-movie run for the franchise. Details about their roles remain undisclosed at this time.
- Fiennes, Comer, and Taylor-Johnson each possess enough star power to carry their own films. Fiennes is best known for his roles in The Grand Budapest Hotel and Schindler’s List, but also made a name for himself as an intimidating head chef and as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter movies. Taylor-Johnson has appeared in numerous superhero films and is allegedly a top candidate to take on James Bond. Comer has a significant presence in Killing Eve and has also been in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel and Ryan Reynolds-led Free Guy.
- 28 Years Later aims to bring the three stars together to narrate a story penned by Garland and directed by Boyle. However, the trio is only committed to the initial installment, leaving their return for future films uncertain. A second film in what could be a 28 Years Later trilogy is already confirmed, with Nia DaCosta as the favored choice to direct. The filming plan involves shooting both movies consecutively.
