BoJ Hike Leaves Policy Differential Unchanged at 262.5 Basis Points

Instruments
USD JPY
Share

The USD/JPY pair traded at 160.2710 on September 2, up 0.17% from the previous session.

The yen has weakened by 1.97% over the past month and 8.31% over the past year.

A Bank of Japan (BoJ) hike to 1.25% and a Federal Reserve hike to 4.00% leave the differential unchanged at 262.5 basis points.

Tokyo core CPI hit 2.0% in August, a third straight monthly acceleration, as the 10-year Japanese government bond crossed 3% for the first time ever.

The persistent wide differential keeps the yen carry trade active and supports the case for further near-term USD/JPY appreciation.
