LONDON, July 23 (Reuters) - The dollar hit a one-month peak against the yen and a two-week high versus the euro on Wednesday, buoyed by a sharp slide in oil prices, a recovery in stocks and hawkish rhetoric from U.S. officials.

With oil more than $20 below this month's record peaks CLc1 and world stocks on a six-day winning streak for the first time in two months .MIWD00000PUS, the improved risk appetite pushed the low-yielding, safe-haven yen to a record low against the euro as investors sought higher returns elsewhere.
