Dollar slips as China rolls out stimulus



A surging yen steadied on Monday as Japan's incoming prime minister signalled monetary policy should remain accommodative, while commodity currencies were lifted to the year's highs by investor hopes of a turnaround in China's economy.

Japan's yen had leapt on Friday when Shigeru Ishiba, a former defence minister and erstwhile critic of aggressively easy policy won the leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, which controls parliament and will vote him into office.
