In New York trading on November 4, the dollar fell about 25 sen to around 158.43 yen, and the euro rose to about 177.90 yen. The Democrats won majorities in both houses of Congress in the November 3 midterms, and Trump signaled willingness to cooperate.
Long-term Treasury yields fell, and falling crude futures on Iran war hopes also weighed on the dollar.
Lower US yields and crude prices weaken the dollar, which tends to support dollar-priced commodity imports for Japan and Asia. The move is small and mostly reflects currency and rate flows rather than feed supply.
