About the Japanese Yen (JPY)
The Japanese yen is quoted without decimal subdivisions in practice — prices move in whole yen — and it is the world's third most-traded currency.
Because Japanese interest rates stayed near zero for decades, the yen is highly sensitive to global rate changes, which can move the USD/JPY rate sharply in both directions.
Issued by the Bank of Japan. The yen floats freely and is the most-traded Asian currency, often treated as a safe haven.
