The pair rose 0.29% in the previous session, settling on Wednesday at 154.12. On Thursday at 21.30 UTC, USD\/JPY trades -0.66% at 153.10 and trades in a range of 152.84 to 154.14.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese yen is rising sharply amid risk-off sentiment. U.S. stock indices have tumbled lower with the NASDAQ dropping 2% after weak data sparked economic fears, and tech stocks&#8217; valuation worries lingered.<\/p>\n<p>The market was also watching the Supreme Court hearing, which is examining whether Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs violated U.S. law. The hearing began yesterday on Trump&#8217;s use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act as a legal backing for his trade tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>The case, which could reshape presidential trade powers, carries major implications for US-China relations and the global market. If Trump&#8217;s actions were deemed illegal, the US may need to pay billions in reparations to its trading partners.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar is falling across the board. The US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, is falling 0.48% at 99.72.<\/p>\n<p>The US dollar is falling across the board amid concerns about the country&#8217;s economic outlook following weaker-than-expected jobs data.<\/p>\n<p>The Challenger report showed that US employers cut more than 150,000 jobs in October, marking the largest monthly reduction in over 2 decades. Tech firms led the job cuts in the private sector, followed by retailers and the services sector, as industries adopt AI-driven changes and implement cost-cutting measures.<\/p>\n<p>The layoffs had surged 175% from a year ago and from the start of the year to the end of October, employers announced 1,099,500 job cuts, marking a 65% increase from the same last year.<\/p>\n<p>The data has raised concerns about the US economic picture. It comes as the US government remains shut down for the longest period ever, which is not helping fears.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japanese Yen (JPY) rises amid a risk-off sentiment US stocks tumble again The US Dollar (USD) falls against major peers IS Challenger job cuts jump 175% YoY The US dollar Japanese yen (USD\/JPY) exchange rate is falling after gains yesterday.
