About Euro and Japanese Yen
EUR/JPY is one of the most popular cross rates in the carry trade universe. For much of the past two decades, traders borrowed cheaply in Japanese yen and invested in euro-denominated assets, profiting from the interest rate differential.
The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan have frequently operated at opposite ends of the monetary policy spectrum - the ECB raising rates to combat eurozone inflation while the BoJ maintained negative rates or yield curve control. This persistent differential makes EUR/JPY one of the most volatile of the major cross pairs, particularly during risk-off episodes when carry trades unwind rapidly and yen demand spikes sharply across all pairs.
When you convert Euros to Japanese Yen at a bank or exchange bureau, the provider's rate will be above the mid-market rate shown here. The difference - their markup - is typically 2–5% at a bank branch, and can reach 8–12% at airport exchange desks. Fintech services like Wise and Revolut typically come within 0.5% of mid-market for major currency pairs.
