Yen trims gains as dollar steadies after hawkish BoJ minutes: Nov 6, 2026
The Japanese yen rose after Bank of Japan minutes showed members agreed it was suitable to keep increasing the policy interest rate, with demand also lifted by a US tech rout. It later trimmed gains and retreated from a weekly high as the US dollar steadied and recovered from post-election weakness. Attention is now on upcoming remarks from Ueda and the US NFP report.
