The trading volume for the USD/JPY pair, Cross Yen, fared much better than it did in the previous month for FFAJ members, coming in at ¥249.6 trillion. This is higher by 22.67 percent month-on-month, as April noted a volume of ¥203.4 trillion.
The trading volume for on-exchange contracts was also robust in the month of May, at ¥1.7 trillion. When weighing this against the previous month’s result of ¥1.5 trillion, it has risen by 20.1 percent.
