Dollar-Yen Traded in Tight Range Amid Rising Oil Prices and US Yields

The dollar-yen pair traded in a tight range around 154.30 yen on November 11th, as oil prices rose and US yields increased. The pair oscillated within a narrow band of roughly 40 sen, between 154.21 and 154.61 yen.

Typically, higher oil prices and rising US yields act as dollar-buying catalysts, but in the Tokyo market on November 11th, profit-taking and position adjustment dominated, limiting dollar-yen's upside.

The sharp rise in crude oil prices to around $103 per barrel reflects renewed supply concerns, which could intensify inflationary pressures and influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory. As a result, both oil prices and US yields are being closely watched by market participants.
