❓ FAQ
EUR to JPY FAQ.
Why did EUR-JPY hit 175 in 2024?
The same dynamic that drove USD-JPY weakness: BOJ at -0.1% while ECB hiked aggressively from 0% to 4.5%. The 4.6% rate differential drove massive carry-trade selling of yen. EUR-JPY peaked at 175 in October 2024 — the highest level since the euro's launch in 1999. Has since retraced as BOJ normalizes.
Is EUR-JPY a good macro indicator?
Yes — EUR-JPY tracks global risk appetite. Rising EUR-JPY = risk-on (carry trades active, yen weak). Falling EUR-JPY = risk-off (yen safe-haven flows, carry unwinds). Hedge funds use it as a "global risk barometer" — a leading indicator for equity market direction in shorter time frames.
EUR-JPY for European tourists in Japan?
Tourist tip: Japan is now ~30% cheaper in EUR terms than 2021 due to the yen weakness. A €100 hotel in 2021 (¥13,000) now costs ¥16,000. European tourism to Japan hit all-time highs in 2024-25 partly for this reason. Use Wise or Revolut for FX-free spending.
