On Thursday, October 25, the Japanese currency rises in price against the US in connection with sales in global stock markets. According to experts, this situation contributes to the growth in demand for more reliable assets, to which market participants refer to the yen.

The US dollar index, the US dollar against a basket of currencies of six countries, America's key trading partners, fell by 0.15% to 96.29 points.

The reason for this, experts believe the weak statistics on the US labor market. Behind them, the Asian markets fell by 1-3%.
