Yen extended its losses against dollar on Thursday, trading below 145 for the first time in 24 years as the Bank of Japan held on to its ultra-easy monetary policies to support the economy. 

 

US 10-year treasury yields are now trading near 11-year highs after the Federal Reserve's decision to hike interest rates by 75 basis points to 3.25%, the highest since 2008.

 

As US yields surged, dollar gained gained ground against yen as the yields gap between the US and Japan widens. 

 

USD/JPY rose 1.3% today to 145.90, the highest since August 1998, with a session-low at 143.50.
