- Does the USD/JPY market ever close, the way a stock exchange does?
- The global spot FX market for USD/JPY trades nearly continuously across international trading centers on business days, with only brief weekend gaps. JPY's perpetual, by contrast, trades 24/7's decentralized exchange, including through those weekend gaps in the underlying spot market.
