JPY: Less than 20% of a BoJ rate hike on Thursday - ING

update 2024.12.16 18:42

After a raft of source-based stories over the last two weeks, the market now attaches a less than 20% probability to a 25bp Bank of Japan hike this Thursday. USD/JPY looks biased to the 155 area ahead of the rate meeting, ING's FX analyst Chirs Turner notes.

USD/JPY looks biased to the 155 area

"Our team thinks the chances are higher. However, helping to swing the BoJ's decision may be the level of USD/JPY. This has crept up to 154 recently, helped by both these source stories plus the sell-off in the US Treasury market."

"While our medium-term valuation models show the yen as the most undervalued currency in the G10 space, our baseline forecasts do, however, show USD/JPY moving steadily higher through 2025 as US Treasury yields rise. The yen will remain the hedge against the inevitable periods of risk asset corrections in 2025, but barring surprise US macro weakness, 2025 should be bullish for USD/JPY."

"For this week, we think USD/JPY looks biased to the 155 area ahead of Thursday's BoJ rate meeting."
