In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 9th, there was a movement to sell the yen and buy the dollar due to a sense of caution that the monetary tightening would be prolonged in the United States, and the yen exchange rate fell.
The yen exchange rate as of 5:00 pm was 131.14-16 sen to the dollar, 26 sen lower than the 8th.
On the other hand, against the euro, 1 euro is 140.76 to 80 sen, which is 4 sen higher than the 8th.
The euro was 1 euro = 1.0733 to 35 dollars against the dollar.
A market insider said, ``After a senior Fed official, who is the central bank of the United States, said that it was necessary to continue tightening monetary policy in order to curb inflation, the yen was sold as the interest rate differential between Japan and the United States widened. There was a move to buy the dollar, but some investors refrained from aggressive transactions, wanting to see how the governor of the Bank of Japan would go."
