NEW YORK, Sept 13 (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar fell on Friday to its lowest level in nearly nine months againstthe Japanese yen after media reports once again fueled speculation the Federal Reserve could deliver asuper-sized 50-basis-point interest rate cut at its policy meeting next week.

Analysts said reports by the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times late on Thursday saying a 50-bp rate reduction is still an option, and comments from a former Fed official arguing for an outsized cut, caused a shift in market expectations.

The U.S. rate futures market has priced in a 51% probability of a 50-bp easing by the Fed at the conclusion of its two-day meetingon Wednesday, up from about 15% early on Thursday. Futures traders have also factored in 117 bps of cuts for 2024, up from 107 bps in the previous session.

The media reports introduced the probability of a 50-bp cut back into themarket after new inflation data had reinforced expectations of a 25-bp cut by the Fed, said Brad Bechtel, global head of FX at Jefferies in New York."So you're just seeing a little bit of an unwinding of those positions that were looking for 25 basis points."

In late afternoon trading, the dollar was down 0.66%to 140.855 yen JPY=EBS, after earlier dropping to 140.285, its lowest level sinceDec. 28. On the week, it fell 1%.

The euro, meanwhile, rose 0.08%versus the greenback to $1.1083 EUR=EBS.

The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25 bps on Thursday,but ECB President Christine Lagarde dampened expectations for another reduction in borrowing costs next month. Gains in the euro have pushed the dollar index 0.08%lower to 101.08 =USD.

"That increase in probabilities of potentially more dovish Fed policy drove the dollar lower and pushed a lot of those other currencies higher, said John Velis, FX and macro strategist at BNY Mellon in Boston.

The dollar trimmed losses after data showed U.S. consumer sentiment improved in September amid easing inflation.

The University of Michigan's preliminary reading on the overall index of consumer sentiment came in at 69.0 this month, compared with a final reading of 67.9 in August. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a preliminary reading of 68.5.

U.S. economic data this week appeared to support the case for a typical 25-bp cut next week, with the measure of consumer price inflation that strips out volatile food and energy prices rising more than expected in August.

But former New York Fed President Bill Dudley on Friday addedto the speculation about a 50-bp Fed rate cut, saying there was a strong case for such a move and thatrates were currently 150-200 basis points above the so-called neutral rate for the U.S. economy, where policy is neither restrictive nor accommodative. "Why don't you just get started?," he said.

The euro "is eyeing $1.11 again after the combined support of a not-dovish-enough European Central Bank and rising dovish bets on the Fed," said Francesco Pesole, a currency strategist at ING.

Sterling GBP=D3 edged slightly lower 0.01%to $1.31235, weakening after reaching near itshighest level in a week. The Bank of England is expected to hold its key interest rate at 5% next week after kicking off its easingwith a 25-bp reduction in August.

The dollar fell 0.38%against the Swiss franc CHF=EBS to 0.84780 francs.

Investors were also looking to the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision next Friday, when it is expected to keep its short-term policy rate target steadyat 0.25%.

BOJ board member Naoki Tamura said on Thursday the central bank must raise rates to at least 1% as soon as the second half of the next fiscal year, but added that it would likely do so slowly and in several stages.

"The BOJ is perceived to be going in the different direction than the Fed - in 180-degree oppositedirection," Velis said, adding that whether and when the BOJ raises rates remains an open question.
