In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 12th, the day after a national holiday, concerns about inflation and monetary tightening in the United States eased, and the movement to sell the dollar and buy the yen strengthened, and the yen exchange rate rose by more than 1 yen.
The yen exchange rate as of 5:00 pm was 133.25 yen to 133.27 yen to the dollar, which is 1.69 yen higher than the 10th.
Against the euro, 1 euro was 137.20 to 24 sen, which was 58 sen appreciation and 1 euro depreciation.
The euro was 1 euro = 1.0296 to 98 dollars against the dollar.
A market insider said, ``With the U.S. consumer price index falling below market expectations, investors have the view that the pace of inflation will slow down, and the sense of caution about monetary tightening has eased, leading to a strong yen against the dollar. However, there was a movement to buy back the dollar after senior Fed officials made positive statements about raising interest rates."
