¥ Japanese Yen
The yen behaves differently from the rest of this set under stress: it has a long history of strengthening when risk appetite falls, which is what earns it its defensive framing and its high stability axis. It is the deepest Asian currency here and the most central to the region, though its reach outside Asia is narrower than the dollar's or the euro's.
