What moves the price

USD/JPY shows how many Japanese yen are needed to buy one US dollar. It is the second most traded pair in the world and is quoted to two or three decimal places.

It is very sensitive to the interest rate differential between the US and Japan and to US Treasury yields. The yen acts as a safe-haven currency in times of stress, and Japan's Ministry of Finance may intervene if it weakens too much.

The currency market trades 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, from the Sydney open on Sunday night to the New York close on Friday. When the market is closed we show the last close.

FAQ

Why is the yen considered a safe-haven currency?

Because Japan is a large net creditor to the rest of the world: in times of stress Japanese investors repatriate capital and carry trades are unwound, which tends to strengthen the yen.

When is the currency market open?

Continuously from Sunday night (Sydney open) to Friday night (New York close), Spanish time. There are no quotes at the weekend.

What is a pip in this pair?

In yen pairs, a pip is the second decimal place (0.01).

Why might this price differ from my broker's?
