Version 0.27 (2024-04-29 04:56:09.339000)

updates: The yen sank to a new 34-year low past 160 per dollar on Monday after a forecast-beating US inflation reading dented expectations for US interest rate cuts this year. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) refused to tighten monetary policy further at its meeting last week. Japanese authorities may step in to support their currency for the first time since 2022. However, observers are skeptical that intervention would have a sustained impact. The US PCE reading followed a third straight jump in the consumer price index, leading investors to revise their outlook for how many rate reductions there would be this year. The BoJ has maintained an ultra-loose policy while other central banks raised rates to fight inflation, causing a wide differential that saw investors buy up other currencies. The Finance Ministry may intervene if there are more downbeat growth and inflation data in the US and a clearer hawkish shift at the BoJ.

Version 0.15 (2024-04-26 03:56:08.019000)

updates: The Bank of Japan is facing pressure to act due to the weak yen, which could lead to a lift in inflation forecasts and a potential move away from ultra-loose policies. The BOJ is expected to keep its interest rate settings unchanged, but there is speculation that authorities may intervene in forex markets. BOJ policymakers are also expected to discuss ways to reduce the bank's purchases of Japanese government bonds. The central bank may provide clearer signals of policy normalization and potentially front-load a rate hike in the coming months. The BOJ's inflation forecasts and assessment of risk balance will be key factors in determining future policy moves. Real wages in Japan have fallen, and the weak yen complicates the BOJ's pause in monetary policy. The Ministry of Finance is expected to intervene in the foreign exchange market if the yen depreciation continues. Overall, the BOJ is anticipated to remain on hold at its April 26th meeting.

Version 0.13 (2024-04-24 08:39:53.293000)

updates: The Bank of Japan is expected to pause its monetary policy despite a weak yen. Real wages in Japan fell by -1.8% year-on-year in February and are unlikely to turn positive soon. Services inflation excluding imputed rent softened to +2.9% year-on-year in March. Goods inflation remained elevated at +3.3% year-on-year due to higher food prices and smaller energy subsidies. The weak yen complicates the BoJ's pause as it hurts households' purchasing power. The US economy's resilience and sticky inflation have led to a more hawkish tone from the Federal Reserve, which further weakens the yen. The BoJ faces a dilemma between supporting growth and stabilizing the yen. Japan's neutral rate remains negative, limiting room for the BoJ to hike rates. The Ministry of Finance is expected to intervene in the foreign exchange market if the yen depreciation continues. The BoJ is anticipated to remain on hold at its April 26th meeting.
