The Japanese Yen (JPY) is the official currency of Japan and the third-most-traded currency worldwide. It is the premier carry-trade funding currency thanks to decades of ultra-low interest rates, and it plays a defining safe-haven role during global equity selloffs.
- •Third-most-traded currency, ~17% of daily forex volume
- •Bank of Japan ended its negative interest rate policy in March 2024 after 17 years
- •Japan holds the world's largest net international investment position
- •Yen weakness typically boosts Japanese exporter earnings (Toyota, Sony, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is AUD/JPY the classic "risk-on" cross?
AUD is one of the most risk-sensitive G10 currencies (commodity-linked, high-yielding) while JPY is the leading safe-haven and global carry-trade funding currency. AUD/JPY therefore amplifies global risk sentiment more than any other major pair — it has one of the highest correlations to the S&P 500 and the inverse VIX.
How does AUD/JPY behave during equity selloffs?
AUD/JPY is among the worst-performing major pairs during stock-market crashes. The 2008 crisis saw AUD/JPY fall from 105 to 56 in eight months — a 47% decline. Smaller risk-off episodes (China stress, banking scares) routinely produce 5–10% AUD/JPY drawdowns within days.
What is the "carry trade" in AUD/JPY?
Investors borrow in JPY at near-zero rates and buy AUD-denominated assets earning higher RBA rates. The interest-rate differential is paid daily as carry. During calm regimes the trade earns steady yield; during volatility spikes, leveraged carry positions are unwound, producing sharp AUD/JPY drops.
When is AUD/JPY most liquid?
The Sydney-Tokyo overlap (22:00–08:00 UTC) provides peak liquidity — both currencies' home markets are active. The London session sees thinner AUD/JPY trade relative to AUD/USD or USD/JPY, but New York hours pick up again as US risk sentiment drives flows.
Does Chinese data affect AUD/JPY?
Yes, more than most pairs. Strong Chinese PMIs and stimulus headlines support AUD via commodity exports while weakening JPY via improved global risk appetite — a double-positive for AUD/JPY. Conversely, Chinese property-sector stress drags AUD/JPY down on both legs simultaneously.
