The dollar was bought in the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 25th due to the rise in long-term interest rates in the United States, and the yen exchange rate has fallen to around 106 yen per dollar.
Market officials said, "The long-term interest rate in the United States has risen to the level for the first time in about a year due to the expectation that the new corona virus vaccine will be inoculated in the United States and the economy will recover. There are also movements by importing companies to sell yen and buy dollars for settlement at the end of the month. "
