# Japanese Yen strengthens as US Dollar gives back part of its post-NFP gains

> The yen gained as USD/JPY fell to around 157.91, with the US dollar weakening after giving back some of its gains following a stronger-than-expected US jobs report. Lower oil prices eased inflation concerns and US Treasury yields declined, while traders continued to weigh expectations of a December Federal Reserve rate increase against the prospect of further Bank of Japan tightening.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar affects the cost of dollar-priced feed and agricultural commodities for importers, while lower crude prices can reduce energy and transport costs. The exchange-rate and energy moves described are modest market drivers rather than a new supply disruption.
