Dollar steady before Jackson Hole, yen little changed after BOJ's Himino speech

Currency markets traded within a narrow range on Thursday as investors awaited the Jackson Hole symposium. The US dollar maintained its position ahead of the key economic event, while the euro edged up 0.07% to US$1.1657 and the British pound traded at US$1.3592.

Simultaneously, the Japanese yen held steady following a speech by Bank of Japan (BOJ) policymaker Himino. During the address, Himino did not rule out the possibility of an interest rate hike in the coming month.
