ING, citing IMF rules, pointed out that if Japan needs to boost the yen, it may be required to act within a three-consecutive-day intervention window; if interventions occur more than three times within six months, its exchange rate regime may be excluded from the IMF’s “free-floating” category, which is equivalent to being downgraded from the top league.
ING does not believe that the recent fall in USD/JPY is mainly due to the Bank of Japan’s hawkish stance. Although there may be a minority of committee members supporting consecutive rate hikes, ING believes that only when the US dollar itself peaks first will the USD/JPY truly reverse its trend.
In the short term, ING judges that there is a risk of USD/JPY returning above the 160 mark next week.
