BOJ’s Himino: The likelihood of economy, prices moving in line with forecast is increasing

  • When the right timing comes, BOJ must change policy without delay
  • Short-term moves in long-term rates won’t serve as a basis for our policy decision
  • Main scenario is for wages to grow as strongly this year as it did last year
  • But want to scrutinise all information leading up to next week’s policy meeting

Again, he’s not really giving anything away. But I guess the key takeaway from all this is that they’re not explicitly ruling out a rate hike for next week. It’s a bit of a contrast from Ueda’s communique from last month to be honest. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see for what the BOJ “leaks” will say in the days ahead.
