Click365 USD/JPY volume falls in October 2026 as open interest rebounds
Click365 USD/JPY trading volume fell to 355,865 contracts in October 2026, while month-end open interest rose to 351,603 contracts. The figures show lower monthly activity alongside a recovery in outstanding positions.
USD/JPY monthly trading volume on Tokyo Financial Exchange's Click365 venue fell to 355,865 contracts in October 2026 from 547,325 in September. Month-end open interest moved in the opposite direction, rising to 351,603 contracts from 337,645. The combination points to a quieter month for transactions but a recovery in positions outstanding at the close.
The volume decline followed the busiest month in the exchange's April–October table. October recorded the second-lowest monthly USD/JPY volume in that seven-month window, with only June lower at 253,751 contracts. Activity had fluctuated substantially over those months, so October's retreat is better read as another reversal within that window than evidence of a sustained downward trend.
Open interest provides a different perspective. September's month-end reading was the lowest in the same seven-month period, and October's recovery brought outstanding contracts above their August level. It remained below July's reading of 353,724, however. That makes the latest increase a partial recovery rather than a new high in positioning over the reported window.
Activity and outstanding positions diverge
The distinction matters for interpreting participation on the venue. Trading volume counts contracts transacted during the month, while open interest measures contracts still outstanding at month-end. Lower turnover can therefore coexist with a larger closing stock of positions. These observations support a judgment about activity and positioning, not a conclusion that liquidity improved or deteriorated, or that traders became more bullish or bearish.
Across the selected standard-size contract series, TRY-JPY recorded 612,015 contracts, ahead of USD-JPY and MXN-JPY, which registered 222,918. The other listed series each had fewer contracts than MXN-JPY. This comparison identifies the ordering of transaction counts among the selected pairs; it does not measure their relative notional exposure or establish shares of Japan's broader FX market.
The figures cover Click365 exchange-listed FX daily futures, with LARGE variants treated separately. Their clearest October signal is the divergence between reduced USD/JPY trading and a higher month-end stock of outstanding contracts.
