Key quotes
“We see rising chances of a change in the policy mix in Japan -- in the form of FX intervention or a shift higher in the yield-curve control tolerance limit.”
“The scenario where yen depreciates on a trend basis due to uniquely weak domestic inflation seems a relatively low probability outcome.”
“A US recession could lead to a 15%-20% drop in the dollar-yen.”
