The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.7% for the week, though losses narrowed after strong US payrolls data on Friday lifted the implied odds of a September Fed rate hike to about 60%. The yen outperformed, rising about 2.4% against the dollar for its best week since July. Gains were driven by expectations that the Bank of Japan may raise its benchmark rate by a quarter point this month and keep the door open to faster hikes thereafter.
