The yen strengthened against the dollar in Tokyo trading, reaching ¥157.92–93 per dollar at 5 p.m., as Japanese and US share prices fell and investors reduced yen-selling, dollar-buying positions used to hedge stock exposure. The yen’s gains were limited by dollar buying from Japanese importers and expectations that the stock-market slump could make a Bank of Japan rate hike less likely.
The risk-off shift and reduced hedging-related yen sales pushed USD/JPY lower, while importer demand and reduced rate-hike expectations constrained the move. The exchange-rate change can affect the yen cost of imported feed and other commodities.
