About BOJRateHikeInFocus
BOJ board member Nakagawa signaled further hikes are needed to complete normalization, warning faster tightening may follow if inflation accelerates. Japan's August CGPI fell 0.2% MoM but rose 7.6% YoY. A Reuters survey found 66 of 68 economists expect a 25bps hike to 1.25% at Sept 17-18, with 24 forecasting another move in Oct or Dec. With September fully priced in, focus shifts to further tightening. A faster pace could support the yen while pressuring carry trades and global risk assets.
