The dollar index was steady at 102.87 points in early trading. The yen was 1% lower today at 145.78 per dollar in early trading. The yen was also lower against the Australian dollar, euro, and sterling. The euro was steady at $1.095275, while the British pound rose slightly to $1.2789. The Australian dollar rose 0.45% to $0.6526 in early trading. Source: Oman News Agency
