About Norwegian Krone / Japanese Yen
NOK/JPY is the exchange rate between the Norwegian krone and the Japanese yen. The price shows how many Japanese yen one Norwegian krone buys: when NOKJPY rises, the Norwegian krone is strengthening against the Japanese yen; when it falls, it is weakening.
NOK/JPY is a minor or exotic cross, so it usually trades with less liquidity and wider spreads than the majors and can move sharply around local news. The Norwegian krone is tied to oil and gas, Norway's main exports, and to flows from its large sovereign wealth fund. The Japanese yen has long been used as a funding currency because of Japan's low interest rates, and it often strengthens when markets turn risk-averse.
On Xellion's MT5 platform NOKJPY is traded as a CFD, so you can go long or short without exchanging either currency. One standard lot is 100,000 Norwegian kroner; the pip size and value are shown in the MT5 contract specification.
