The dollar weakened against the yen in Tokyo trading, slipping from an early high of 158.52 to 157.90 by evening. Japan’s Finance Ministry reported total foreign-exchange intervention of 15.3993 trillion yen for July–September, while lower US yields and oil prices also weighed on the dollar.
The reported intervention represents direct yen buying, while softer US yields reduce the dollar’s interest-rate support. A stronger yen can affect the competitiveness of Japanese imports and exports, but the story gives no direct feed-commodity price signal.
