# [New York FX] Yen in the upper 157 range (5th)

> The yen strengthened to around 157.62–157.72 per dollar in New York on November 5, gaining 75 sen from the previous day's close. Risk aversion following a sharp US stock-market selloff and lower Treasury yields encouraged yen buying and dollar selling; traders were also awaiting the October US employment report.

## Why it matters

A stronger yen makes dollar-denominated feed imports cheaper for Japanese buyers, all else equal. This is a currency-market move rather than a direct change in feed supply or demand.
