US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY)

Written by Aboutcurrency

THE USD/JPY rate is composed of the US Dollar "base currency" and the Japanese Yen "quote currency".

USDJPY


The US Dollar/Japanese Yen rate reflects the relation of the US Dollar trading against the Japanese Yen (1 USD per x JPY). For instance, If the USD/JPY quotes at 77.70, then 10,000 US Dollars would equal 770,000 Japanese Yen (because 10,000 x 77.70 = 770,000). This simply means that 1 US Dollar buys you 77.70 Japanese Yen.
