Australian and NZ dollars rise against the yen but fall against the dollar
The Australian dollar strengthened, marking a rebound after four consecutive sessions of declines. This recovery came after suspected intervention from Tokyo last week, which disrupted the popular carry trade, where investors borrow in a low-interest currency like the yen to invest in higher-yielding assets.
