USD/JPY flows: Ueda and his hawkish words

BoJ's Ueda highlighted potential hike around March to April if spring wage negotiation sees an acceleration in wage growth. It is a quite hawkish rhetoric, especially after headlines earlier in the week suggesting Takaichi's uncomfortable with more and swifter rate hikes from the BoJ.

It supports the JPY and see USD/JPY trading 0.27% lower at 155.92.
