In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 14th, the beginning of the week, long-term interest rates in the United States rose and there was a movement to buy dollars, but the yen exchange rate rose compared to last weekend.
In the foreign exchange market, there was a growing view that the pace of interest rate hikes in the United States would slow down, and the dollar temporarily hit the 138 yen level toward the morning of the 14th.
Afterwards, when the Fed's governor, who is the central bank of the United States, made a remark that he had put a check on such market views, long-term interest rates in the United States rose and there was a move to buy the dollar, which mixed buying and selling.
As of 5:00 p.m., the yen was 1.69 yen higher against the dollar than last weekend, at 139.49 yen to 139.49 yen to 52 yen.
Against the euro, the exchange rate rose by 55 yen to 144.7 yen to 11 yen to 1 euro, a decrease of 55 yen compared to the end of last week.
The euro was 1 euro = 1.0327 to 28 dollars against the dollar.
A market insider said, ``Investors are interested in what kind of remarks the Fed's senior officials will make on the future interest rate hikes in the United States.''
