USD/JPY quotes the US dollar against the Japanese yen and is one of the three most traded currency pairs in the world. Because the yen is quoted to two decimal places, one pip equals 0.01 rather than the 0.0001 used for most majors. The pair shows one of the strongest correlations in FX to US Treasury yields, so it often functions as a proxy for the US rates outlook.
Bank of Japan policy is the other defining force: Japan's interest rates have historically sat far below those of other major economies, making the yen a favoured funding currency for carry trades. In risk-off episodes those carry positions unwind and the yen tends to strengthen — its classic safe-haven behaviour. Japan's Ministry of Finance has also historically intervened in the market during episodes it deemed disorderly, which keeps traders alert near multi-decade extremes.
On the session, USD/JPY is trading at 160.17, a move of +0.25 (+0.16%) versus the previous close of 159.92. The instrument has ranged between 159.90 and 160.20 so far today. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Strong Buy.
