These economists views are largely the same as last month, but their inflation forecasts have been revised upwards. Last month, financial markets began rapidly incorporating a range of interest rate hike expectations due to concerns that a war between the US and Israel and Iran would necessitate policy interventions to address soaring energy costs. However, economists did not share this view and have maintained their stance of keeping rates unchanged. The survey results indicate that inflation was already very high before the war and will rise sharply in the coming months before declining in early next year. Bank of England Governor Bailey stated earlier this month that investors should not necessarily expect an interest rate hike. Most forecasters who previously held the same view now seem to believe him, given the current significantly tightening financial conditions.

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.

According to Reuters, S&P Global issued the following statement: "Manufacturing production increased slightly, but the service sector had the greatest impact on March's accelerated growth."

 

Wednesday, ECB policymaker Boris Vuji stated regarding interest rate forecasts, "The majority of the rate-hiking cycle has passed." He added, "We may require additional rate increases to address core inflation."
