BoJ’s Masu says Japan has shifted into inflation as policy normalisation continues

  • For markets, the speech reinforces a “gradual but ongoing” normalisation story: real rates are still negative and Masu signals further hikes if the outlook plays out, while the detailed taper path for JGB purchases keeps upward pressure on term premia and leaves usd/jpy sensitive to any inflation persistence via food and yen pass-through.

Japan household spending slumps in December as inflation squeezes consumers (more)

  • The sharp drop in household spending reinforces concerns over real income pressure, but with inflation still the BOJ’s primary focus, the data may do little to dent expectations for a rate hike as early as April.
