# At 5 p.m., yen posts a small third-day decline, trading in the low 158s; also weaker against the euro

> The yen weakened slightly for a third consecutive session in Tokyo on November 5, trading at 158.19–158.20 per dollar at 5 p.m. A pause in the decline in US long-term yields supported dollar buying, while falling oil prices and reported dollar selling by Japanese businesses limited the yen's losses.

## Why it matters

A weaker yen raises the local-currency cost of imported feed, while the oil-price decline can ease some transport and energy costs. The currency move was modest and did not signal a direct change in feed supply or demand.
