Key Quotes
“In light of (1) the acceleration of the US economy and rise in short-term yields, (2) the possible downward revision of the BoJ’s bullish growth/price outlook down the road, and (3) the BoJ’s asymmetrical stance on policy responses, we continue to see a gradually higher USD/JPY trajectory”.
“The range is likely to transition into USD/JPY125-130 into 1H16, before peaking, as we forecast USD/JPY to rise to 125 by year-end and beyond in 1H16”.
