# NY Yen at the Upper 158 Yen Range as US Long-Term Yields Rise and Yen Selling Drives Dollar Buying

> On November 3, the yen weakened 0.75 yen to 158.64-158.74 per dollar in New York trading, while the euro traded at 177.57-177.67 yen. US employment data showed labor market resilience, which raised expectations of further rate hikes and pushed up US long-term yields. Yen selling against the dollar led the market on the widening Japan-US rate gap.

## Why it matters

A weaker yen makes dollar-priced feed imports more expensive for Japanese and other yen-based buyers, while currency moves of this size do not by themselves shift grain or meal prices.
