TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The dollar sagged against the yen early on Thursday as U.S. yields dropped overnight to two-week lows, but the greenback managed to hold steady against the euro and pound.

The euro was little changed at $1.0420 EUR= after losing 0.4 percent the previous day, during which it went as low as $1.0372.
"The dollar looks like it has run its course against the yen for now. But against the euro, the dollar still has room to gain as the pair is now trying to catch up to the widening between U.S. and German yields," said Masafumi Yamamoto, chief forex strategist at Mizuho Securities in Tokyo.
The spread between the 10-year U.S. Treasury US10YT=RR and German bund DE10YT=RR yields is the widest on record stretching back to 1990.
The spread has been increasing recently on the divergence between European and U.S. central bank policy and outlooks for growth and inflation.
The common currency already hit a near 14-year low of $1.0352 last week and analysts expect it to eventually reach parity with the dollar next year.
Sterling was flat at $1.2229 GBP=D4 . The pound was in reach of a two-month low of $1.2201 set overnight amid fresh uncertainty over Britain's Brexit negotiations.
The dollar index was down 0.15 percent at 103.150 .DXY , but still in reach of a 14-year high of 103.650 struck last week.
