USDJPY
ForexUS Dollar / Japanese Yen
USDJPY shows how many Japanese yen one US dollar buys and is the world's second most liquid currency pair — the core gauge of the US–Japan rate differential. Japan's structurally low rates make the yen the global funding currency of carry trades: a widening rate gap typically lifts USD/JPY, while convergence (or risk-off repatriation) strengthens the yen. Key variables include the Bank of Japan's policy normalization, the Fed's path, US inflation data and Japanese authorities' intervention rhetoric; Tokyo, London and New York sessions are all active. Forex is an over-the-counter (OTC) market; trading runs from Sunday 17:00 to Friday 17:00 ET, closed on weekends.
