Yen Rises 0.15% Against Dollar to 157.84 in New York Late Trade

The yen's move is broad rather than dollar-specific: it gained against the euro, sterling and the offshore yuan, which points to yen strength rather than a single-pair story. The n-shaped session, with a spike after 10:00 Beijing time and a sharp reversal from the daily high after 00:00, suggests the late move was driven by positioning or flows into the New York close rather than a fresh catalyst. Whether the yen holds these gains once liquidity returns is the open question.
