On the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 5th, the euro fell against the yen and the dollar due to concerns that the supply of natural gas from Russia to Germany through the pipeline would be prolonged.
In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 5th, the sense of caution about the future of the European economy has increased as the supply of gas from Russia to Germany through the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline continues to be stopped.
As a result, the yen has appreciated against the euro, and the yen has risen by more than 1 yen against the euro.
The euro also fell against the dollar, hitting its lowest level in almost 20 years since December 2002.
A market official said, ``With the uncertainty of when Russia will resume natural gas supply, there is growing concern that the European economy, including Germany, will slow down further.''
