USD/JPY overview

Overview
Costs & Margins
  • USD/JPY represents US dollars traded against Japanese yen on the forex market. Its price denotes how man yen amount to one dollar. Unlike other forex pairs, currency pairs like USD/JPY with yen as the counter currency have pip values in the second decimal place.

    The main influences on USD/JPY are the interest rates in both countries. Japan typically keeps an extremely low interest rate, while the US will raise and lower the interest rate as deemed necessary. When the US dollar has a high interest rate, USD/JPY becomes a popular carry trade currency pair.

    The value of USD/JPY also correlates closely with the price of US treasuries. When US interest rates rise, treasury prices go down. This lifts the US dollar and increases the rate of USD/JPY.
