The yen exchange rate in the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 21st rose against the dollar due to the movement to buy back the yen, which had fallen sharply recently.



On the other hand, the yen fell to the 140 yen level at 1 euro after 5:30 pm, mainly in overseas markets, and the yen depreciated for the first time in about 6 years and 10 months.

The yen exchange rate as of 5 pm is 63 yen higher than the 20th, from 1 dollar = 128.2 yen to 3 yen.



On the other hand, against the euro, it was 84 yen cheaper than the 20th, 1 euro = 139.89 yen to 93 yen.



The euro was 1 euro = 1.0927 to 28 dollars against the dollar.



After that, the yen depreciated against the euro, and after 5:30 pm, when transactions in overseas markets were the main focus, the price dropped to just 140 yen per euro.



Market officials said, "While Japan continues to ease monetary policy, Europe is strengthening its stance of tightening monetary policy. Due to the difference in the direction of monetary policy between Japan and Europe, the movement to sell yen and buy euro has increased. There has been widespread perception that the rise in long-term interest rates in the United States has stopped for the dollar, and investors have seen a move to sell the dollar and buy back the yen in order to secure profits.
