TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The dollar touched a three-month high against the yen on Monday, with investors betting that an emphatic election victory for Japan’s ruling party would see a continuation of the ultra-loose “Abenomics” policy that have kept downward pressure on the yen.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling bloc scored a big win in Sunday’s election, with his Liberal Democratic Party-led (LDP) coalition winning a combined 312 seats, keeping its two-thirds “super majority” in the lower house, according to media reports.
