# JPY Weekly - 9 November 2026 - MUFG Research

> The yen weakened against the dollar early in the week as strong US data supported the dollar, then strengthened after Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress and again amid a selloff in US equities. USD/JPY briefly fell below 157.50 before recovering, and was above 157.50 at the time of the report.
