Riskier currencies had slid along with sterling and the euro in the wake of the "Brexit" referendum, while the safe-haven yen surged, and volatility persisted into Monday. But as equities and oil prices recovered, traders made less safe bets, emboldened by the absence of any big new political shocks.
