USD/JPY, recorded — not predicted.

Primary data from Japan's Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Japan, the Federal Reserve and the CFTC. Every value carries its observation date and the time the publisher released it, as separate fields.

The site itself is in Japanese. This page carries the current figures and the machine-readable entry points, generated from the same sources as the Japanese pages.

Why the release time matters

LOOK-AHEAD

CFTC positioning data refers to Tuesday. It is published Friday at 15:30 ET. For those three days the market does not know the number.

Index a backtest by observation date and the tester reads Friday's number on Tuesday. Results will look good. They will not be real.

FieldMeaning
observation_dateThe date the value refers to
publisher_release_atWhen the market could first know it
release_at_methodrule_derived / announced / unknown
source_first_seen_atWhen we first saw it
ingested_atWhen we stored it
Where we cannot establish a release time, release_at_method is unknown and no value is written. We do not record an estimate as though it had been announced.

Not every series is fetched automatically. 18 series are pulled from the publisher daily; 1 is placed by hand and therefore does not follow the publisher automatically (obs.usdjpy.close.daily). Because no fetch is attempted, it is not even recorded as a miss. We state this rather than let the site imply otherwise.

What this site does not provide

NOT PROVIDED
Forecasts, outlooks, price targetsNever
Buy / sell signalsNever
Event importance ratings (stars)Never
Market consensus estimatesRedistribution licence required
Real-time pricesDaily close only
Analyst commentaryNever

These exclusions are written into a charter (49 articles) published with its SHA-256. Amendments keep every earlier version. The charter exists to bind the operator: having written "no forecasts", we cannot later add them.

Instead of importance ratings, we publish the record. Across 400 CFTC releases the daily range on release days was 1.07× a normal day — not statistically significant (Welch t = 1.32). On the ten intervention days in the same window it was 3.58× (t = 4.15). We publish both, including the one that undercuts the premise that CFTC releases move the market.

CITATION
Do not drop the status field. Values carry ORIGINAL, REVISED, SUPERSEDED or DELETED_BY_SOURCE. A superseded value circulating as current is precisely what this site exists to prevent. Corrections are never deleted; the old value is retained and marked.
