NEW YORK (Reuters) – The safe-haven dollar and yen rose on Tuesday as market sentiment turned risk-averse amid renewed worries about the banking sector and the outlook for the global economy, which knocked the euro off a nearly 10-month high. <\/p>\n

The climbed 0.6% to 101.83, having dropped more than 4% since March 8.<\/p>\n

“Lower risk appetite is clearly the main driver here for the dollar and for other havens as well,” said Shaun Osborne, chief FX strategist, at Scotiabank in Toronto.<\/p>\n

“But we’re not really breaking out in the dollar or extending significantly at this point. This is not a longer-term development, so we have to look at opportunities to fade the dollar rally,” he added. <\/p>\n

A weak consumer confidence report and a decline in Federal Reserve manufacturing data further added to the dollar’s and yen’s safe-haven appeal.<\/p>\n

Data showed U.S. consumer confidence fell to a nine-month low in April, a survey showed on Tuesday. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 101.3 – the lowest since July 2022 – from a revised 104.0 in March.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Richmond Fed manufacturing index slid as well, down at -10 in April, the fourth straight month of contraction. <\/p>\n

Both surveys negated strong U.S. housing data, which showed new home sales beat estimates with a 9.6% rise in March to a one-year high of 683,000 after net revisions.<\/p>\n

“The bias is for dollar weakness, but I think until U.S. data weakens substantially, it’s hard to see that trend really picking up,” said Vassili Serebriakov, FX strategist at UBS in New York.<\/p>\n

News on Monday of plunging deposits at First Republic Bank <\/span><\/span> (NYSE:) served as a reminder that stability risks have not entirely died down, while UBS reported a 52% slide in quarterly income. <\/p>\n

The yen firmed, behaving like a typical safe haven, even as the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) new governor Kazuo Ueda signaled he was not in a hurry to shift policy. This week’s BOJ meeting, which concludes on Friday, is his first in charge.<\/p>\n

The Japanese currency rose 0.6% to 133.495 per dollar and was up 1.2% at 146.42 per euro, having earlier touched an eight-year low of 148.635. <\/p>\n

The euro dropped 0.7% against the dollar to $1.0969, having risen 1.2% so far in April and more than 4% since mid-March.<\/p>\n

ECB board member Isabel Schnabel told Politico that a 50 basis point (bp) rate hike was not off the table and would depend on data – notably inflation figures due two days before May’s meeting.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, sterling was down 0.6% at $1.2403, but was close to a 10-month high of $1.2545 reached earlier this month. <\/p>\n

The Australian dollar dropped 1.1% to US$0.6621 as traders waited for inflation data due on Wednesday, while the New Zealand dollar was at US$0.6138, down 0.5%.<\/p>\n
