Key quotes

“The depreciation of the yen will continue as long as the BOJ sticks with its loose monetary policy and its yield curve control and US yields continue to rise.”

“We find it hard to see intervention driving a sustained appreciation without any shift in yield curve control expectations.”

“With risks to yields still skewed to the upside, FX intervention seems likely to be less effective.”

“There is a high risk of intervention. But says yen strength will come if the BOJ reviews its YCC settings and the rate differential to the US drops by 40 or bps.”
