# Japanese Yen treads water despite moderate US Dollar weakness

> The yen traded in a narrow 157.00 to 158.00 range on November 2 without a clear direction, despite a softer US dollar. Japan's finance minister reiterated readiness to intervene against disorderly moves, but the comments had little effect. The Bank of Japan kept its policy rate at 1.25% and cast doubt on a December hike.

## Why it matters

Intervention threats and a BoJ on hold leave the yen weak, which keeps imported feed and grain costs elevated in yen terms. With no clear trend, the direct effect on commodity prices is limited.
