Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
The JPY has been the best-performing G10 currency over the past week, extending its rebound after USD/JPY failed to break back above 160.00 at the start of September and broke below support at 155.00. A 25bps BOJ hike is almost fully priced for the upcoming meeting. Meanwhile, stronger US inflation data has increased the likelihood that the Fed begins hiking in the week ahead, but the USD has failed to strengthen, suggesting concerns that the Fed is behind other central banks.
