The yen strengthened modestly on Monday, with USD/JPY near 158.25, as investors anticipated a possible Bank of Japan rate increase in December. Stronger-than-expected US October payrolls and expectations of further Federal Reserve tightening continued to support the dollar and limit the yen’s gains.
The competing rate outlooks are keeping the yen-dollar exchange rate sensitive to central-bank signals, which can affect the cost of imported feed and ingredients in Japan. The reported move is modest and provides no direct signal for global commodity prices.
