Understanding US Dollar / Japanese Yen

USD/JPY is the second most traded forex pair globally, offering exceptional liquidity during both Asian and US sessions. The pair is heavily influenced by the interest rate differential between the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan — a spread that has driven historic moves in recent years.

USD/JPY trending behaviour and sensitivity to US yield data creates excellent macro-driven setups. The Tokyo session also provides early directional clues.
