In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 6th, the yen exchange rate fell somewhat due to the movement to sell the yen and buy the dollar, which is expected to yield more, due to the rise in long-term interest rates in the United States.
The yen exchange rate as of 5 pm was 130.51 yen to 53 yen, which is 41 yen weaker and the dollar stronger than on Monday, the 2nd.
Against the euro, the yen depreciated by 25 yen and the euro rose from 1 euro = 137.29 yen to 33 yen.
The euro was 1 euro = 1.0519 to 21 dollars against the dollar.
Market officials said, "The Fed in the United States has decided to tighten monetary policy such as a drastic rate hike, but there are concerns that inflation may be prolonged due to the fact that crude oil prices remain high. Demand for dollar buying is persistent against the backdrop of rising long-term interest rates in the United States, and in order to overheat inflation among market participants, the number of employees is increasing in the US employment statistics released on the night of the 6th of Japan time. And the increase in average hourly wages is attracting attention. "
