A 1000 yen note on a tray at a souvenir shop in Hakone, Japan, on Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2022.
The yen hovered near a two-week high on Tuesday, boosted by a report that the Bank of Japan, or BOJ, could further tweak a key bond yield policy tool when it announces its monetary decision later in the day.
The dollar looked set to end the month largely unchanged against a basket of currencies, having lost some steam after a roughly 2.5% gain in September.
Against the euro, the yen last stood at 158.24, having similarly risen to an over one-week high of 157.70 per euro on Monday.
Elsewhere, the Australian dollar shed 0.09% to $0.6368 and was headed for a monthly loss of more than 1%.
