BOJ’s Nakamura: I am not against rate hikes but decision should be data dependent

  • There’s still plenty of data before December meeting, including Tankan report
  • Need to scrutinise those data in deciding whether rate hike would be appropriate

Nakamura is one of the more dovish members, so you’d expect a more cautious tone at least. As things stand, traders are pricing in ~38% odds of a 25 bps rate hike by the BOJ for the 19 December meeting.
