BoJ: Any hawkish surprise may nudge USD/JPY toward 145 – Standard Chartered
The BoJ faces a complex situation regarding its monetary policy. Economists at Standard Chartered analyze how the next BoJ Monetary Policy Statement could impact USD/JPY.
USD/JPY likely to trade just slightly north of 150 in the absence of policy shifts
In the absence of policy shifts by the BoJ, we expect USD/JPY to trade slightly north of 150. We think 10Y JGB yields will edge up towards the BoJ’s upper ceiling in a stepwise manner to take some of the pressure off the JPY. We would watch the December policy review for a potential encore of the end-2022 policy pivot by then.
Conversely, indications of policy tightening at the 31 October meeting – be it jettisoning the negative interest rate policy or YCC – could allow USD/JPY to trade closer to 145 though further upside may be limited by Japan’s stillwide rate differentials with the US.
