Japanese yen soars on tensions in Korean peninsula
On Wednesday, the evergreen buck weakened versus the Japanese yen on worries about growing tensions between America and North Korea while the Canadian dollar was firm after the nation's key bank chief supported an interest rate lift.
The US dollar lost 0.3% during early trade, fetching 112.95 yen and drifting away from Monday's 1-1/2-month peak of 113.48.

As for the Canadian dollar, it held firm enough, showing C$1.2934 per dollar, having reached a 10-month peak of C$1.2912 to the greenback on Tuesday.
