The USD/JPY reached levels above 140.00 for the first time since August 1998. The pair peaked at 140.12 and then pulled back to 139.70, amid an increase in volatility. A stronger US dollar across the board boosted the pair.

Another upbeat economic report from the US triggered more losses in Treasuries and boosted the dollar. The US Dollar Index is at 109.78, a level not seen in 20 years.

The US 10-year yield rose to 3.28%, the highest since June. The last report was the ISM Manufacturing which remained at 52.8 in August against expectations of a decline to 52.
