USD/JPY News — The Carry Trade Pair

Dollar vs Japanese yen — uniquely sensitive to the US-Japan rate differential.

Highly sensitive to the Fed-BoJ spread and US Treasury yields. The yen is also a safe-haven, so flips can be violent on risk-off days.

FAQ

Why is USD/JPY a 'carry' pair?

Borrow yen at near-zero rates and buy higher-yielding assets. The strategy works until the yen sharply unwinds.

What is BoJ intervention?

When USD/JPY moves too far too fast, Japan's Ministry of Finance can sell USD reserves to buy JPY. Watch for verbal warnings first.

Pip size?

0.01 (because it's a JPY pair). 1 pip on 1 lot = ~$6.70 in USD terms.
