Euro / Japanese Yen · Cross · live quote updated every 5 seconds
EUR/JPY is a widely traded cross that pairs the euro with the Japanese yen and is often used as a barometer of global risk appetite. It rises when investors are confident and falls during risk-off phases as the safe-haven yen strengthens. The main drivers are the policy gap between the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, Eurozone yields versus Japanese yields, and overall sentiment. Because it spans two time zones, it stays active through the Tokyo session, roughly 00:00-09:00 UTC, and again during European hours.

The ECB versus Bank of Japan policy gap, yield differentials and global risk sentiment drive it. The pair typically rises in risk-on conditions and falls when the yen gains as a safe haven.
It is active during the Tokyo session, around 00:00-09:00 UTC, and again through European hours, giving it a long window of liquidity.
The yen strengthens in risk-off markets while the euro is more risk-sensitive, so EUR/JPY tends to track shifts in global sentiment closely.
