In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 25th of the week, the movement to sell dollars and buy yen has intensified due to concerns about the economic slowdown in the United States, and the yen exchange rate has risen by more than 1 yen.

Market officials said, "American long-term concerns have spread as economic indicators of business sentiment for corporate buyers released last weekend fell below market expectations. As interest rates have fallen, the movement to sell dollars and buy yen is intensifying, with awareness of the narrowing of the interest rate differential between Japan and the United States. "
