Market pricing of the JPYUSD pair is driven by supply and demand dynamics, differences in interest rates, relative inflation, and monetary policy actions by the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve. Geopolitical events, risk sentiment, trade balances and capital flows also influence short-term volatility and longer-term trends.
