U.S. outlook now key for JPY, regardless of BoJ policy
Aug 12 (Reuters) -Global factors appear to be having a greater influence on USD/JPY than the Bank of Japan and its policy outlook. U.S. yields and oil could therefore have a greater impact over the coming year, regardless of whether the BoJ hikes another 25 bps, or 75 bps.
A recent research note from Danske Bank expects the BoJ policy rate to reach 1% within the coming 12 months. They cite the need to improve Japanese public opinion and Government approval ratings. With Japan being a big energy importer, the weak JPY has driven up fuel costs and has had a negative impact on company profits over recent years.
However, the note goes on to say that even if the BoJ is not so aggressive with further hikes, there is still room for USD/JPY to decline and they therefore remain bearish. Their justifications for that view are the carry trade losing more appeal amid the potential for increased FX volatility, as evidenced already by the halving of JPY short positions in July. Additionally, any more evidence of a U.S. recession may force more aggressive Fed easing and hit USD/JPY, even if the BoJ stops further hikes.
Danske Bank recognise the USD/JPY recovery from last weeks 141.70 low, but suspect the market will remain in "sell rallies" mode, even if risk assets manage to sustain a rebound. Overall the bank see USD/JPY declining below 145.00 on a 12-month horizon.
