Overview
EURJPY is a major forex cross pair that combines the Euro (EUR) with the Japanese Yen (JPY). It’s one of the most actively traded non-USD pairs, offering a unique blend of liquidity, volatility, and macroeconomic influence. The pair reflects the relationship between two globally significant economies: the Eurozone and Japan.
Traders are drawn to EURJPY because of its sensitivity to interest rate differentials and risk sentiment. When markets are optimistic, the JPY often weakens as investors seek higher returns elsewhere — giving EURJPY upward momentum. Conversely, during risk-off periods, JPY strength can pull the pair down. This dual nature makes EURJPY an excellent barometer for both European economic health and global investor confidence.
