In the New York foreign exchange market on the 15th, the dollar-yen closed at 162.22 yen, with dollar selling dominating as expectations for a rate hike this year receded following slower growth in the US June Producer Price Index, and long-term interest rates declined. Dovish remarks from New York Fed President Williams also encouraged dollar selling, pushing the dollar-yen down from 162.40 yen to 161.90 yen. The euro-dollar closed at 1.1462 dollars, rising from 1.1406 dollars to 1.1483 dollars. The euro-yen rose from 185.21 yen to 186.00 yen, the pound-dollar climbed from 1.3404 dollars to 1.3558 dollars, and the dollar-Swiss franc fell from 0.8114 francs to 0.8034 francs.
