What moves USD/JPY

USD/JPY is driven by the interest-rate gap between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, plus growth and inflation data from each economy. Rate hikes, hot CPI and strong jobs numbers usually strengthen a currency, while dovish surprises weaken it. Risk sentiment matters too — the yen and franc tend to gain in risk-off markets.

About USD/JPY

USD/JPY pairs the US dollar against the Japanese yen. Its direction is driven mainly by the interest-rate gap between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, and by relative growth and inflation between the two economies. In sentiment terms, the Japanese yen tends to strengthen when markets turn risk-off, while the US dollar does better when risk appetite is strong.

Best trading sessions for USD/JPY

USD/JPY is most active when the New York and Tokyo sessions are both open — the London–New York overlap, 12:00–16:00 UTC, is usually the most liquid window. It is quietest late in the New York afternoon.

What increases USD/JPY volatility

Expect the biggest USD/JPY moves around US inflation, non-farm payrolls and Fed guidance and BoJ policy, US Treasury yields and risk sentiment, central-bank rate decisions from either side, and broad risk-on / risk-off swings in global markets.
