> The dollar-yen pair edged lower on November 5, touching 158.23 yen early in Tokyo trading. Lower US 10-year yields at the start of trade weighed on the dollar, while buying tied to the Tokyo fixing kept losses limited. Commentary cited falling oil prices and the dollar's decline after the US midterm results.
