BoJ preview: MUFG sees hold but a 2% inflation call, with two dissenters the key yen risk
The desk expects the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to maintain its current interest rate at 1.25% during the upcoming meeting, citing a shift in rhetoric towards a declared effective 2% inflation target as a potential precursor to future rate hikes. This perspective aligns with insights from MUFG, which suggests that a firm communication from BoJ Governor Ueda may enhance support for the yen and accelerate expectations for rate increases in December [source]. Current positioning may be sensitive to dissent from two board members traditionally opposed to rate hikes, who could pose a risk to yen stability if they advocate for a cut instead. Should the BoJ maintain a cautious stance while inflation remains a concern due to external pressures such as rising oil prices, it could lead to upward pressure on short-end JGB yields and support the yen in the near term.
