USD/JPY 160 level - potential BOJ intervention, rate hike

  • Citi and MUFG anticipate USD/JPY hitting 160 with intervention risk if breached. BoJ may hike rates in January after strong Q3 GDP data.

I posted earlier on Citi eyeing the 160 level in USD/JPY:

MUFG are also keen on that area:

  • risk of intervention and/or the Bank of Japan raising earlier would rise if USD/JPY moved above 160.00
  • BoJ Governor Ueda's remarks on Monday fit with our forecast for the next rate hike to be delivered in January
  • BoJ will have taken encouragement from last week's data on the latest GDP reportshowing much stronger than expected private consumption growth in Q3 2024
