BOJ's Nakamura says inflation may not reach 2% from FY 2025 on if consumption weakens
The USD is trading broadly weaker on Thursday's Asia session despite U.S. Treasury Yields recapture some lost grounds. BOJ's Nakamura says inflation may not reach 2% from FY 2025 on if consumption weakens and highlights the pass-through of wages to inflation remains weak. This comment maybe the painful truth and aligns with our core view of lower wage-inflation translation but in a short to medium run, Japanese CPI could stay afloat at 2% despite of such.
While 10yr JGB yields continue to drift below 1%, USD/JPY is dragged by weaker dollar to trade 0.33% lower at 155.57.
