About USD/JPY
USD/JPY is driven above all by the gap between US Treasury yields and Japanese government bond yields, which the Bank of Japan has kept unusually low for years. It also behaves as a risk barometer: the yen tends to strengthen (the pair falls) when markets are fearful, and weaken when appetite for risk is high. Watch for verbal or actual intervention from Japan’s Ministry of Finance at stretched levels.
