Print Share/Bookmark

The yen's trade-weighted index is calculated using the weighted geometric average of the yen's exchange rates against 15 major currencies. The weights are based on the average of Japans relative exports to trading partner. The yen's exchange rates are deflated by the price indices of Japan and the corresponding countries and regions to calculate the real exchange rate. The weights are based on 2005 trade data, with a base 100 value set from March 1973.

The basket comprises 15 countries, with the main components as follows: U.S. 25.8%; China 15.4%; Eurozone 12.4%; Korean Republic 8.9%; Taiwan 8.4%; Hong Kong 6.9%; Thailand 4.3%; Singapore 3.6%, U.K. 2.9%.

BTW, for those of you who really dont think trades are made and billions of dollars are made on knowledge of non-public information:

The upward spike in USD/JPY came just a few hours before the FED's "surprise" announcemet yesterday. Gee, who knew? GOLDman?

I have been trading with CMC Markets for almost three years and I am a very satisfied client. I also have accounts with other brokers as well, but my main account (with decent funds) is with CMC Markets.
