Comments from Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Iwata, appearing in the Japanese parliament today:

  • Does not see any risks posed by possible rate hikes by Fed or BOE
  • It is possible that FX markets have fully priced in rate hikes by other central banks
  • Says the BOJ is conducting monetary policy to meet price target, not to target FX

-

All right, you lot.

Yes, you, the FX market!

Have you fully priced in rate hikes by other central banks?
