The yen fell 90 sen against the dollar in New York on November 6, closing at 158.50–60 yen per dollar. U.S. October payroll growth exceeded expectations and unemployment was lower than forecast, strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise rates in December; the euro also weakened against the dollar.
Stronger expectations for U.S. rate hikes support the dollar against the yen and euro, making USDJPY more bullish and EURUSD more bearish. A stronger dollar can also affect the cost of dollar-priced feed imports for buyers whose currencies weaken against it.
