He prefers raising rates every few months to gradually approach the 2% neutral level. He also stated that if the likelihood of upside risks to prices increases, the BOJ should not hesitate to accelerate the pace of rate hikes or significantly raise interest rates. Tamura believes that the underlying inflation rate has reached 2%, and upside risks to prices remain regardless of developments in the Middle East. Furthermore, Japans situation differs fundamentally from that of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank because the BOJs policy rate remains below the neutral level, and inflation expectations are not yet fully anchored. Tamura stated that he opposes the BOJ pausing its bond-buying tapering from the next fiscal year, believing that the central bank should quickly normalize its bond holdings.The Hang Seng Index fell 1%, and the Hang Seng Tech Index fell 1.2%.

NZD/USD Price Analysis: Protects NZ Inflation-Induced Support Break; 0.6140 in Sight

During the mid-Asian session on Thursday, NZD/USD bears maintain control at the lowest levels in five weeks while defending New Zealand (NZ) losses caused by inflation near 0.6160. This justifies not only the weaker-than-anticipated New Zealand inflation, but also the recent break of one-month-old horizontal support, which is now immediate resistance, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

 

As measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy purists were unpleasantly surprised by New Zealand's (NZ) first-quarter (Q1) inflation. Despite this, the Quarter-over-Quarter change in the New Zealand Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreases from 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, to 1.2%.

 

Following the publication of disappointing data, the NZD/USD pair breached a one-month-old horizontal support level, which is now acting as a barrier near 0.6170. The bearish MACD signals are now directing NZD/USD traders toward a horizontal support level that has been in place for 1.5 months and is located near 0.6140.

 

If the NZD/USD bears remain dominant above 0.6140, the 2023 low of 0.6085 cannot be ruled out.

 

The 200-day simple moving average hurdle of 0.6220 becomes crucial for NZD/USD investors to return.

 

If the NZD/USD pair remains above 0.6220, a run up to the previous weekly high around 0.6315 and then to the monthly high of 0.6386 cannot be ruled out.
