USD/JPY

The dollar strengthened against the yen by 4 points on Monday, which, with the overall fall of the US stock market by 1.63% (S&P 500), demonstrates the dollar's strong position (or, rather, the weak position of the yen, since the dollar index lost 0.30% yesterday). Today we expect the market to recover, as the forecast for US new home construction for September is expected to rise from $1.416 million to $1.457 million.
