The dollar on Thursday lifted from a seven-month low against the yen as US-Japan trade talks avoided the issue of foreign exchange, while it made small gains on other currencies ahead of the long Easter break.
The dollar fell this month as the US threatened, imposed and then postponed massive tariffs, undermining confidence in US economic growth and stability.
The almost 8% gain for the Swiss franc since April 2 is the largest among G10 currencies and at 0.8167 per dollar it is close to testing resistance at a decade-high of 0.81.
