The yen exchange rate has risen in the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 18th.
Against the backdrop of falling long-term interest rates in the United States, there has been a move to sell dollars and buy yen.
The yen exchange rate as of 5 pm is 87 yen higher and the dollar weaker from 1 dollar = 114.1 yen to 3 yen compared to the 17th.
In addition, against the euro, the yen has risen by 62 yen and the euro has depreciated from 1 euro = 129.22 yen to 26 yen compared to the 17th.
The euro was 1 euro = 1.1334 to $ 35 against the dollar.
Market officials said, "As long-term interest rates in the United States have fallen and the interest rate differential between Japan and the United States has narrowed, the movement to sell dollars with lower interest rates and buy yen has become dominant, and the price has risen to the upper 113 yen level at one point. In the United States, interest rates are expected to rise in the future, so it is expected that the dollar will continue to be easy to buy. "
