The US dollar stood at 158.084 Japanese yen on Friday, 25 September 2026 at 08:04 GMT, according to market measurements. That level places the currency pair between its 28-day peak of 160.175 yen and its trough of 153.459 yen recorded over the same period. The exchange rate tracks how many yen are required to purchase one dollar.

Positioning and Market Snapshot

Weekly data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed speculators held 120,359 net long contracts in the Japanese yen in its 15 September 2026 report. That position grew by 109,563 contracts from 10,796 net long contracts a week earlier. The figures count non-commercial derivative wagers.

Other foreign exchange measurements taken on Friday, 25 September 2026 at 08:04 GMT placed EUR/USD at $1.1388, near its 28-day low, while GBP/USD stood at $1.3229, also near its 28-day low.
