About AUD/JPY
AUD/JPY is one of the most sensitive carry-trade pairs. Australia typically offers higher interest rates than Japan, creating a persistent incentive to borrow JPY and invest in AUD. When risk appetite is strong, this carry trade thrives and AUD/JPY trends higher. When markets panic, the carry unwinds violently. The pair also reflects commodity demand - when iron ore and copper prices rise, the AUD leg strengthens, creating a double bullish force in risk-on environments.

Trading Tips
- →The carry trade dynamic means this pair can trend for months in one direction - daily chart trend-following strategies have historically outperformed here.
- →During risk-off events, AUD/JPY drops faster than almost any other pair due to the carry unwind - stop losses must be wider than you'd use on a major.
- →Japanese retail traders (Mrs. Watanabe) are historically active in this pair - unusually large Tokyo-session moves can sometimes be traced to margin-call cascades.
