- Abe probably isn't waiting for BOJ to move now
- Japan must gauge impact of negative rates from longer view
- BOJ's negative rates will be effective
- USDJPY around 110 is a comfortable level for Japan
- govt needs to intervene if USDJPY breaks 100
The will they/won't they ease debate continues regarding the BOJ announcement this week and no one's any the wiser.
