Yen maintains its upward momentum
In the trading session on September 30, 2025, the USD/JPY pair continued to decrease for the second consecutive session, trading around 148.60. The decrease was about 0.39% compared to the previous session and about 0.60% compared to the end of last week, continuing the decrease in the past few sessions.
The main driver of the Yen's gains comes from increased political and economic uncertainty in the US. Investors are cautious about the risk that the US government could have to close if the National Assembly cannot reach a budget agreement before the deadline of October 1.
US President Donald Trump has summoned Congress leaders to find a final solution for the budget package, but the parties have yet to reach a consensus. This mentality weakens the US Dollar as investors seek the Yen as a safe-haven asset. See more...

If the garden is flooded for a long time, my family could lose up to billions of VND". See more...
