We investigate the consistency under inversion of jump diffusion processes in the foreign exchange market. That is, if the EUR/USD exchange rate follows a given type of dynamics, under which conditions will USD/EUR follow the same type of dynamics? After giving a numerical description of this property, we establish a suitable local volatility structure ensuring consistency. We subsequently introduce jumps and analyze both constant and random jump size. While in the first scenario consistency is automatically satisfied, the second case is more involved. A fairly general class of admissible densities for the jump size in the domestic measure is determined.
