US Dollar / Japanese Yen

One of the most traded currency pairs in the world, quoting yen per US dollar. It is highly sensitive to the US–Japan interest-rate differential and has historically been a core carry-trade vehicle.

No single covered venue: this asset trades over the counter or across many venues at once — Global interbank FX (OTC). We name where it trades rather than pointing at a page that does not exist. The venues we do cover.

A position, not a price, and not a forecast — and never today. The report fixes positions as of a Tuesday and is published the Friday after, so it is three days old when it appears and ten by the time the next one lands. All five of the CFTC’s report families carry the same newest date, so this is the freshest that exists rather than the freshest we fetched. The commercial side is its mirror: every speculative long is somebody else’s short.

Identifier
No identifier standard exists for a currency pair. The honest identifiers are the two ISO 4217 codes below; a single code for the pair itself does not exist, and the instrument identifiers that appear to fit are for spot contracts rather than the rate.
