The dollar edged higher against the yen on Tuesday, pulling away from a recent four-month low, as concerns over tensions between the United States and North Korea eased for now, supporting risk appetite. The dollar rose 0.4 percent to 110.04 yen, pulling further away from a near four-month low of 108.72 yen set on Friday. The safe haven Swiss franc eased, with the dollar gaining about 0.1 percent to 0.9725 francs. The Swiss franc extended its losses after shedding about 1.1 percent against the dollar on Monday, its biggest daily fall since July 27.
