What happened to the USD/JPY exchange rate?

The USD/JPY exchange rate has suffered a remarkable reversal in the past few weeks as the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan (BoJ) divergence continues. It has dropped for four consecutive weeks and reached a low of 149.54, down from the year-to-date high of 161.76.

Why has the USD/JPY retreated?

The USD/JPY has retreated primarily because of the ongoing divergence between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan (BoJ). In its interest rate decision on Wednesday, the bank decided to leave interest rates unchanged between 5.25% and 5.50%. That decision did not catch investors off-guard since it was in line with what analysts were expecting.

Why is Japan's USD/JPY performance a sign that investors are unwinding?

It came two days after Japan published weak industrial production data. At the same time, the USD/JPY performance is a sign that investors are unwinding the most popular carry trade in the market. A carry trade is a situation where investors borrow a cheaper currency than the JPY and invest in a higher-yielding one.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
