More comments from BOJ deputy governor Amamiya
- BOJ has several tools if it needs to ease further
- Can deploy them individually or combinations of them if need be
- Will continue to allow flexible moves in yields
- BOJ's biggest goal remains achieving price target at earliest date possible
Very much sticking to the script here. Nothing that really stands out from Amamiya as his comments here are in-line with what most policymakers at the central bank have mentioned before in the past.
USD/JPY still sits near the lows for the day at 108.79 currently with the greenback still under pressure in follow through selling after the Fed was perceived to be more dovish in the FOMC meeting overnight.
