BoJ Preview: The likelihood of renewed currency market intervention is likely to increase – Commerzbank
|The Bank of Japan’s monetary policy decision is due on Friday. Economists at Commerzbank analyze JPY outlook ahead of the Interest Rate Decision.
Threat of interventions overshadows BoJ meeting
Friday’s meeting is unlikely to bring any changes, but market participants are likely to expect indications as to whether Ueda’s comments regarding more clarity at the end of the year are to be understood as a monetary policy signal or not from the subsequent press conference. That is likely to contribute to whether USD/JPY will move closer towards 150.
In any case, as the Yen continues to weaken, the likelihood of renewed currency market intervention is likely to increase.
