How does rising dollar volatility affect AUD/JPY?
AUD/JPY is sensitive to risk sentiment; heightened dollar volatility often leads to risk aversion, causing traders to sell higher-risk currencies like AUD and buy back yen, driving AUD/JPY lower.
Could AUD/JPY bounce back?
If dollar volatility eases and risk appetite returns, AUD/JPY could rally as carry trades resume. However, sustained uncertainty would keep pressure on the pair.
