# Japanese Yen weakens on disappointing data, hawkish BoJ limits losses

> Japan’s household spending fell 6.8% year over year in September, its tenth consecutive decline and the steepest drop since September 2020, weighing on the yen. The yen’s losses were limited by expectations of further Bank of Japan rate hikes, while US dollar demand also provided support.

## Why it matters

Weak spending could make the BoJ more cautious about raising rates, supporting USD/JPY; hawkish BoJ expectations partly offset that pressure. The article reports no direct feed-commodity supply or demand change.
