Swiss Franc / Japanese Yen · Cross · live quote updated every 5 seconds
CHF/JPY is an unusual cross because it pairs two of the market's leading safe-haven currencies, the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen. That shared character often keeps it calmer than higher-beta pairs, with direction shaped by which haven is favoured at a given moment and by the relative stance of the Swiss National Bank and the Bank of Japan. Yield differentials and shifts in global risk appetite also feed in. It sees activity through the Tokyo session, roughly 00:00-09:00 UTC, and again during European hours.

It is active during the Tokyo session, roughly 00:00-09:00 UTC, and again through European hours.
