The value of USDJPY is influenced by several key factors, including interest rate differentials between the US and Japan, economic data releases, and politics.
For example, if the Federal Reserve increases interest rates while the Bank of Japan maintains low rates, the USD may strengthen against the JPY, driving the USDJPY pair higher. Similarly, positive US economic data, such as higher GDP growth, can also increase USDJPY.
