The yen is absolutely fascinating to trade and its one of the most important currencies in the world sitting at number three by volume. The big thing about the JPY is its safe haven status.. when markets panic money flows into yen almost automatically which can create some seriously sharp moves. USDJPY is the second most traded pair globally and its got beautiful liquidity basically 24 hours a day. The Bank of Japan spent decades running ultra loose monetary policy with rates at or below zero which made the yen THE go to funding currency for carry trades.. borrow in yen at near zero rates and invest somewhere with higher yields. When those carry trades unwind though it gets proper violent with the yen strengthening rapidly. The BOJ has been slowly trying to normalise policy which has added a whole new dynamic. EURJPY and GBPJPY are absolute favourites among traders who like big moves because those crosses can swing hundreds of pips in a session. One thing to watch is Japanese government bond yields because when they move the yen reacts instantly. Ministry of Finance intervention is always a threat when USDJPY gets too stretched in either direction. Never a dull moment.

The Korean won is one of the most important currencies in Asia and its basically a proxy for global tech demand given that South Korea is home to Samsung SK Hynix and a massive chunk of the worlds semiconductor production. When chip demand is strong the won tends to do well and when theres a tech downturn it weakens. USDKRW is the main pair and the Bank of Korea manages it through a managed float.. they intervene fairly regularly to smooth out volatility though theyll never admit exactly when. China is South Koreas biggest trading partner so anything that hits Chinese growth tends to drag the won down too. The currency is also quite sensitive to North Korea related geopolitical risk though honestly the market has become a bit desensitised to that over the years unless something genuinely serious happens. Liquidity is decent during Asian and early European hours but it falls off a cliff after that. The onshore and offshore markets can behave differently and there are some NDF dynamics to be aware of. Good currency for playing the Asian tech and trade cycle if youve got the right setup for it.
