Analysts' comments
- Yasuhiro Onakado, chief economist at Daiwa SB Investments:
"The Federal Reserve said downside risks to economic growth had increased appreciably. That means risk factors, which the BOJ cites regarding the U.S. economy in its outlook report, are growing." - Reuters
- Michael Klawitter, currency strategist at Dresdner Kleinwort:
"I guess the markets are saying not only will the BOJ postpone the August hike but increasingly it will (hold off) in September too. That leaves the negative carry for the yen too large, following the recent correction, and too tempting for speculators to get back in. But (cross yen) rallies will be temporary and nobody will be willing to bet on any lasting upward move." - AP
- Tony Juste, FX Advisor at FXstreet.com:
"We should not be expecting any 'big surprise' from our friends in Japan, and less if we take into account the latest market developments. Therefore it is unlikely that a rate hike will be seen at this time, as I am not sure they like the levels where USD/JPY is curretly sitting at." - FXstreet.com
