Short positions in the yen continued to increase ahead of the Bank of Japans policy decision on Tuesday. "The 25 basis point rate hike has already been fully priced in, so its unlikely to trigger a reversal of the yens weakness on its own, thus encouraging further increases in short yen positions," he said. He added that if energy prices continue to fall and bets on US rate hikes decrease, any further intervention by Japanese authorities to support the yen will prove more effective.On June 15th, Agile Group Holdings Limited (01813.HK) announced the latest progress in its offshore debt restructuring.

The ECB raised interest rates last Thursday for the first time in nearly three years, attempting to curb inflation before the surge in energy costs triggered by the US-Israel war against Iran spreads further throughout the Eurozone. In his article, Kazmir stated, "Now is not the time for complacency and hesitation. Higher energy costs are likely to persist for longer than many had hoped. Even with the recent peace agreement between the US and Iran, the damage inflicted on the Middle East cannot be erased overnight." He indicated that if the ECB does not act, a second wave of effects from rising energy prices will emerge. "We have taken the first step in curbing medium-term price pressures, but the task is not yet complete. Based on the information currently available, it is increasingly clear that monetary policy has much more to do."

After plunging below 142.60 during the Asian trading session, the EUR/JPY pair's three-day losing trend was extended. Renewed rumors of an expansion of the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) Yield Curve Control (YCC) are exerting immense pressure on the cross.

 

The Japanese economy is experiencing gradual wage growth, and inflation is expected to respond to recent increases in crude oil prices. Analysts at Wells Fargo believe the BoJ will take advantage of a tactical opportunity to further modify its policy settings in the fourth quarter of 2022, and are inclined toward a meeting in October. They added that this timeframe is optimal for a smooth policy adjustment, as monetary easing from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and other major central banks should alleviate yield pressure.

 

In particular, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will raise the target yield for 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) from 0% to 0.25% and increase the tolerance interval surrounding this target to +/- 75 basis points.
