About AUD/JPY
What moves it
- The Australian dollar side (Reserve Bank of Australia)
- Commodity prices (especially iron ore), Chinese demand, RBA policy and broad risk appetite.
- The Japanese yen side (Bank of Japan)
- The gap between Japanese and foreign bond yields, Bank of Japan policy shifts, and risk sentiment — the yen often strengthens when markets fall.

Pip value
One pip is 0.01. On a standard lot of 100,000 AUD, a one-pip move is worth 1,000 JPY. Your broker converts this into your account currency at the current rate.

Trading notes
- In risk-off periods money tends to flow into the Japanese yen, so AUD/JPY often reacts to stock-market sell-offs.
