World Financial Updates

The yen dropped against the US dollar to its weakest since mid-1990 above the ¥55 area, with markets alert to any signs of intervention from Japanese authorities to prop up their currency. The benchmark S&P 500 closed higher in choppy trading as investors weighed an uptick in treasury yields amid positive corporate results, particularly from technology giants. An auction of a record $7 billion worth of 5-year US Treasury notes helped to push bond yields higher. Australian consumer price inflation slowed less than expected in the first quarter as service cost pressures stayed stubbornly high, a disappointing result for policymakers that led markets to abandon hopes for any rate cuts this year.
