BoJ highlights significance of commerce talks
“The yen’s weak point is being attributed to a speech from BoJ board member Tamura, the place the policymaker’s hawkish tone was tempered by a suggestion that the central financial institution could be unlikely to lift charges whereas commerce talks had been underway.”
“The speech adopted a comparatively hawkish BoJ Abstract of Opinions (minutes) launch that hinted to the likelihood to an inflation forecast improve and potential price hike in July – relying on the result of commerce talks with the US.”
