USD/JPY: FX Market Intervention Unlikely Up To 145 – SocGen

In the opinion of economists Societe Generaleauthorities are likely to intensify verbal intervention near the 145.00 zone in USD/JPY.

JGB yield range extension to 10 years in July

We now anticipate a widening of the 10-year JGB yield range from +/- 0.50% to 1.00% at the next meeting in July. However, this may depend on the FOMC meeting in the US. The outlook for USD/JPY is clouded by the BoJ’s calendar, but also by the Fed’s.

A further widening of UST/JGB spreads on the eve of the July meeting and an acceleration of USD/JPY above 145.00 could signal the return of FX intervention.

Speculation about a general election this fall also darkens the outlook for the currency and the BoJ’s policy tightening.
