Saudi foreign minister said the legitimate Yemeni government has responsibly offered opportunities to negotiate with the Houthi movement and that the door to diplomatic engagement with the Houthis remains open. He said Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to defend its security against Houthi attacks.

Yen approached its strongest levels of the year after extending gains following a break below the 155 handle. USD/JPY fell as much as 0.5% on Tuesday to 153.55; overnight the yen rose 1.2%, leaving it up nearly 4% this month and the best-performing G10 currency. Traders said there was no single catalyst—some cited thin liquidity during a US holiday, others pointed to acceleration after the break below 155. Rising bets on a BOJ rate hike and speculation that the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) may rebalance allocations have also supported the yen; one trader said the 155 breach triggered large stop-losses and forced option dealers to sell dollars. NAB strategist Catrill said the overnight break of that support area clearly opens room for further yen gains and that USD/JPY could test prior lows near 152.27 and 152.10.
