- USD/JPY rose on Monday as after US ISM services data showed the pace of growth among domestic services industries accelerated more than forecast in November.
- The dollar quickly regained its footing against Japanese Yen as investors shrugged off worries of political instability in Italy, while dollar and U.S. Treasury yields rose after U.S. economic data.
