How Forexpia covers Tokyo
Tokyo is the yen's home session, and USD/JPY behaviour around the 09:55 Tokyo fix is one of the most consistently documented intraday patterns our index covers.
Japan's FSA caps retail leverage at 1:25, the tightest among major centres, and licensed brokers must be registered with a Local Finance Bureau. Forexpia surfaces that registration on broker cards matched to this city.
Bank of Japan policy and MoF intervention commentary are the dominant local macro drivers, so news results here weight domestic sources ahead of general global coverage.
