# Tokyo forex summary: Dollar hovers around 158.20 yen, directionless with two-way price action - Kabutan

> The dollar traded around 158.22 yen in Tokyo on Nov. 9, more than 20 sen above its level late Friday, while the euro was around 176.57 yen. The dollar moved in a choppy range as traders weighed stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls against weaker equities and awaited U.S. CPI and PPI data; the euro also weakened against the dollar.

## Why it matters

The employment data and expectations for Federal Reserve policy are influencing currency demand, but the session’s mixed signals left the dollar-yen direction unclear. Currency moves can affect import costs, though the report identifies no specific feed-commodity price impact.
