Understanding JPY to USD Exchange Rates
The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the most traded currencies globally and is considered a safe-haven currency. JPY/USD exchange rates are influenced by Bank of Japan monetary policy, US Federal Reserve decisions, Japan's trade balance, and global risk sentiment. The yen tends to strengthen during periods of market uncertainty as investors seek safe assets. The relationship is inversely correlated with USD/JPY, meaning when the dollar strengthens against the yen, fewer yen are needed to buy one dollar.
