Early trade in New York: Dollar mixed, anxiety buying lifts yen versus euro

The dollar was mixed on Thursday, hurt by falling Treasuries yields, while the yen was lifted to a five-month high against the euro by anxious investors repositioning after the West imposed more sanctions on Russia. The dollar was up against both the euro and the yen, which was down 0.2 percent against the dollar at 101.51 yen. The euro weakened to as little as 137.185 yen, its lowest since early February, and last traded at 137.34 yen, off 0.1 percent for the day.
An index that measures the dollar against a basket of six other leading currencies was off 0.05 percent at 80.517 but still near a one-month high touched on Wednesday.
