Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

MUFG reports broad USD gains after the Fed hiked and the BoJ's 25bp hike failed to meet hawkish expectations. DXY rose over 1% to late-July levels, with JPY underperforming. The 10-year UST yield hit a 19-year high, and the 2-year real yield turned positive for the first time since 2021. MUFG keeps its longer-term dollar forecasts, expecting further G10 hikes (ECB to 3.00%, RBA to 4.85%, BoE +75bp by mid-2027). It sees scope for further USD/JPY upside but expects buying to fade before 160.00.

Key arguments

  • The Fed's rate hike and the BoJ's failure to signal faster tightening reinforced broad USD gains this week.
  • The 10-year UST yield reached a 19-year high, and the 2-year real yield turned positive, highest since 2021.
  • MUFG keeps its longer-term dollar forecasts as most other G10 central banks are likely to hike further.
  • USD/JPY still has scope to rise, but MUFG expects buying to fade ahead of a break above 160.00.

Main risks

  • Should Treasury yields reprice higher beyond the >75bp in 60 days threshold, equity market deterioration could support safe-haven JPY and CHF while weighing on cyclical currencies.
  • A sharp increase in yields has historically impacted equity market performance once ranges are breached, especially with elevated inflation.
  • The BoJ's communication failure could lead to renewed JPY selling capacity, but upside for USD/JPY remains limited.
