"Most people would have assumed that where the fed funds rate is right now is in restrictive territory. That is bearing down on underlying inflation and bearing down on some of the dynamism in spending," he said.

The dollar fell 0.8% against the yen, viewed by many as a safe-haven asset because of the low interest rate it bears, to 154.88 , around its lowest for two weeks and over 3% down from late April's multi-year high at 160.03.
