Because the United States markets are closed for holidays, the USD/JPY is little moved, mainly around the early 161 yen area.

【6/19Market overview

Tokyo time, the USD/JPY fell to 160.98 as Finance Minister Katayama stated that “if there is speculative action, we will take decisive measures,” but rose to 161.45 on reports that the memorandum signing between the U.S. and Iran was postponed. In European time, the USD/JPY stayed range-bound in the early 161 yen area. Amid reports about Middle East tensions, trading was mixed but the reaction was limited.161.45yen円まで下落となるが、米イランの覚書署名延期との報道で、161.45円まで上昇。欧州時間、ドル円は161円台前半でのもみ合いで終始。中東情勢に関する報道で売買が交錯する場面もあったが反応は限定的。Market時間、米国がジューンティーンスの祝日で休場だったことから流動性が低下。閑散取引の中、161円台前半で狭いレンジでの取引となった。
