The yen was soft after a volatile start on Friday as earlier sharp surge stoked speculation that Tokyo had intervened to lift the currency away from 38-year lows.


Tokyo's top currency diplomat, Masato Kanda, said on authorities will take action as needed in the foreign exchange market but declined to comment on whether authorities had intervened.

The dollar as a result has been on the defensive after data showed US consumer prices fell for the first time in four years in June. Traders are now pricing in 93% chance of the Fed cutting rates in September.
