NY円、160円台前半 米雇用統計が堅調、米利上げ観測強まる

The Japanese yen weakened against the US dollar, trading in the early 160 yen range in New York. This depreciation was attributed to stronger-than-expected US employment data. The robust jobs report has fueled expectations that the US Federal Reserve may maintain or increase interest rates.

The yen's continued weakness against the dollar raises concerns about import costs and potential government intervention in currency markets.
