Japanese Yen exchange rate today April 30, 2025: Japanese Yen slightly decreased
Japanese Yen exchange rate today 4/30/2025: USD/JPY pair increased slightly to near 142.30 as the US dollar maintained its stable momentum ahead of the release of US JOLTS Job Opportunities data for March.
The DXY index, which measures the greenback's strength against six major currencies, also edged up around 99.10.
Economists expect the US to record around 7.5 million new job openings in March, slightly lower than the previous month's 7.56 million. However, this figure is unlikely to have a strong impact on market expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy, which is expected to remain in the range of 4.25% - 4.50% at its meeting in May.
In addition, the market is also paying attention to the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report due out on Friday.
Investor sentiment toward the dollar has been partly affected by concerns surrounding the US-China trade outlook. After US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said China should take the initiative to ease tensions, investors expressed doubts about the possibility of a quick resumption of negotiations between the two countries.
In Asia, markets are watching the Bank of Japan (BoJ) policy meeting scheduled for Thursday. The BoJ is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 0.5%, but investors will look for new signals on the possibility of policy adjustments amid uncertainties in the global economy, especially after new tariffs from the US.
