The pair fell 0.38% in the previous week, settling on Friday at 153.43. On Monday at 17.30 UTC, USD\/JPY trades 0.35% at 153.96 and trades in a range of 153.46 to 154.24.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese yen is falling amid an improved market mood, amid hopes that the US government shutdown could soon end. On Sunday, the Senate moved forward on a measure aimed at reopening the government and ending a record-breaking 40-day shutdown that had left 75,000 federal workers furloughed and had wide-ranging impacts, including the cancellation of over 10,000 flights.<\/p>\n<p>The safe-haven yen was out of favour while riskier FX such as the Aussie dollar outperformed. US equities were also rebounding firmly amid the risk-on mood.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the Bank of Japan&#8217;s summary of opinions on Monday also noted that the fog surrounding Japan&#8217;s economic outlook had begun to clear. These comments were seen as potentially paving the way for a rate hike in December, which would support the yen.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar is rising across the board. The US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, is rising 0.10% at 99.70 after losses last week.<\/p>\n<p>The US dollar is pushing higher on optimism about a possible reopening of the US government. Although trading volumes have been relatively low ahead of tomorrow&#8217;s Veterans Day, a holiday on which the US stock market opens but the bond market closes.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear when you ask, but economic data releases may begin once the US government reopens. However, attention will quickly shift back to the Federal Reserve and rate-cut expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, data raised some concerns over the health of the US jobs market. The Challenger job-cut report showed that US firms cut 153,000 jobs in October, the most in October in over 2 decades.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US government could reopen soon The US Dollar (USD) rises versus major peers Attention could return to economic data The US dollar Japanese yen (USD\/JPY) exchange rate is rising after losses last week.
