Nov 28 (Reuters) - The euro dipped against the dollar on Thursday as traders reined in bets of more interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank, while broader currency moves were muted in U.S. holiday-thinned trading.
The Japanese yen slipped to 151.58 per dollar but with its 2.1% gain this week the currency has recovered losses suffered since the U.S. election and was heading for its best weekly showing in three months. Markets see about a 53% chance the Bank of Japan will raise rates next month.
