The Japanese yen fell past 155 per dollar on Tuesday, struggling to regain momentum as the suspension of U.S. tariffs on Mexico and Canada reduced demand for the safe-haven currency.
On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to "immediately pause" planned tariffs on Mexico and Canada for a month after successful negotiations with their respective leaders.
Markets are also becoming more optimistic that the U.S. and China could strike a deal to prevent the 10% tariffs on Chinese imports set to take effect later today.
In Japan, investors are focusing on Wednesday's release of wage figures, which could impact the outlook for the Bank of Japan's monetary policy. The BOJ raised interest rates in January and has signaled its readiness to hike rates further if economic and price trends align with forecasts.
