A new type of capitalism to hit the JPY?
“Pressure is building for a topside break out in USD/JPY. We think the US macro/Fed story will be a positive one for the dollar over the next 15 months (USD/JPY to trade to 120), while home-grown developments look slightly JPY bearish.”
“New PM Kishida is floating the idea of a ‘new type of capitalism’, where a capital gains tax could help in income redistribution. Japanese equities are worried.”
“With Japan still in deflation, the BoJ will be the last CB to hike.”
“USD/JPY still shows by far the highest daily correlation with 10-year US yields. Expect upside pressure on both into year-end.”
