On the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 5th, the yen exchange rate rose slightly.
Due to some speculation that the pace of monetary tightening in the United States would not slow down, there was a movement to sell the dollar and buy the yen, and there was also a scene where the price rose to the upper 143 yen level to the dollar at one point.
The yen exchange rate at 5:00 pm was 144.44 to 46.00 yen to the dollar, 21.00 yen higher than the 4th.
On the other hand, against the euro, 1 euro = 143.58 to 62 sen, a 75 sen depreciation compared to the 4th.
The euro was 1 euro = 0.9940 to 41 dollars against the dollar.
A market insider said, ``This week, US employment-related indicators fell below market expectations, so the pace of monetary tightening by the Fed has slowed, and the spread of interest rates between Japan and the US has not progressed as much as the market expected. Some speculation that this is the case has led to more moves to sell the dollar and buy the yen."
