USD/JPY: Jawboning on the yen resumed – BBH

USD/JPY is struggling to sustain a break above 150.00 as jawboning on the yen resumed, BBH FX analysts note.

USD/JPY tries to sustain a break above 150.00

“Japan’s chief currency official Atsushi Mimura warned at the moment we’re seeing slightly one-sided, sudden moves in the currency market. We’ll keep monitoring the forex market with a high sense of urgency, including any speculative moves.”

“Japan September CPI print was mixed but still argues for a cautious BOJ tightening cycle which can further undermine JPY. Headline CPI inflation matched consensus and slowed to 2.5% y/y vs. 3.0% in August due to subsidies to slash electricity and gas bills. Core (ex-fresh food) fell less than expected to 2.4% y/y (consensus: 2.3%) vs. 2.8% in August but is tracking the BOJ 2024 forecast of 2.5%.”

“Core (ex-fresh food & energy) unexpectedly increased one tick to 2.1% y/y (consensus: 2.0%) and remains slightly above the BOJ 2024 forecast of 1.9%.”
