USD/JPY will test the 120.00 level by the end of the year – CIBC

CIBC Capital Markets economists report that monetary policy normalization and rising JGB yields favor USD/JPY approaching 120.00 by year-end.

BoJ policy normalization will boost JPY going forward

“While Kuroda was intimately associated with Abenomics, we don’t expect Ueda to be as tainted. Consequently, we would anticipate a normalization of monetary policy if justified by macro conditions“.

“USD/JPY in the second quarter of 2023: 125.00 | USD/JPY in the third quarter of 2023: 123.00

“Monetary policy normalization coupled with rising JGB yields, and easing spreads against the US Treasury, leave USD/JPY testing the 120.00 region by the end of the year.”
