Dollar Mixed As Stocks Falter

The dollar rose against the yen Thursday, helped by a stronger market for U.S. Treasury bonds and turmoil in Asian financial markets.

But the dollar fell against the mark as a German central bank official signaled the Bundesbank would seek to prevent further dollar gains and the U.S. stock market weakened.

The currency market lacked strong conviction as traders balanced out their positions ahead of the long Labor Day weekend.
