FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Further easing by the BOJ is widely expected next week, says Jens Nordvig and Saeed Amen, Nomura FX Strategists. According to the bank, "the majority of investors expect the BOJ to expand the APP by JPY10trn, but split with regard to whether the BOJ will increase ETF purchases and on whether the BOJ will extend the duration of JGB purchases." Nomura notes that if easing is conducted next week, this would represent the second consecutive month, and "would mark a more structural shift at the BOJ" , which could have implications mid-term. Nomura sticks to 82 by year-end for USD/JPY.
