On the 22nd of the week, the yen exchange rate in the Tokyo foreign exchange market rose by more than 1 yen against the euro.
This is because the infection of the new coronavirus has spread again in Europe, the economic outlook has become uncertain, and the movement to sell the euro has intensified.
The yen exchange rate as of 5 pm was 114.21 yen to 23 yen per dollar, which was 15 yen higher and the dollar weaker than last weekend.
Against the euro, it was 1 euro = 128.61 yen to 65 yen, which was 1.11 yen higher and the euro weaker than last weekend.
The euro was 1 euro = 1.1261 to 62 dollars against the dollar.
Market officials said, "In Austria, the outbreak of vaccinated people is restricted, and in Europe, the infection of the new coronavirus has spread again, and uncertainty about the future of the economy has increased. The move to buy the yen, which is considered to be a safe asset, has spread. For the dollar, aggressive transactions are being made to determine who will be the next chairman of the FRB = Federal Reserve Board, which is the central bank of the United States. Many investors refrained from doing so. "
