Dollar / Yen Live priceWhat is USD/JPY
USD/JPY is the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen, one of the most traded pairs in the world.
It is especially sensitive to the gap between US and Japanese interest rates, and to risk sentiment: the yen is a classic safe haven that tends to strengthen when markets are fearful.
Because the Bank of Japan has long kept rates very low, the pair is a favourite for traders watching policy shifts in Tokyo and Washington.
