(1) State Street Global Advisors estimates that Japan's intervention in the foreign exchange market this Thursday amounted to approximately 5 trillion yen (equivalent to 31.1 billion US dollars). (2) The institution stated that the Bank of Japan is highly likely to keep interest rates unchanged at today's meeting but will send a hawkish policy signal; it also believes that the window for the next interest rate hike will open in September or October, rather than following the usual six-month interval. (3) Related comments from Besant and the foreign exchange inquiry activities of the New York Federal Reserve provide further justification for Japanese authorities to address excessive yen weakness. State Street emphasized that if USD/JPY once again experiences sharp and disorderly fluctuations, the Ministry of Finance of Japan will not hesitate to implement a new round of intervention measures.

Deutsche Bank: After the three major central banks hiked rates simultaneously, the market may once again underestimate the terminal interest rate

Deutsche Bank points out that as central banks in the US, Europe, and Japan are tightening policy simultaneously, the market may still be underpricing the eventual terminal rates. With oil prices remaining high, inflation may spill over into core inflation and wages. Moreover, financial conditions have not tightened in tandem, which could weaken the effect of rate hikes. Citing the experience of 2022, Deutsche Bank notes that the market then expected a total of around 200 basis points of Fed rate hikes in the first year, but the final figure exceeded 400 basis points, illustrating that the market often underestimates the terminal rate.
