BOJ to maintain its ultra loose monetary policy.

BOJ Governor Ueda, stated earlier on today that the bank’s “basic stance is that we must patiently maintain monetary easing”, implying that the bank may not be abandoning its ultra loose monetary policy anytime soon, which could weigh on the JPY. Minneapolis FED President Kashkari, stated on Friday that “Consumer spending continues to exceed our expectations” per Reuters. The statement may be implying that the bank may have to hike, despite remaining on pause during their last monetary policy meeting, a view which apparently was supported by FED Governor Bowman, who also stated on Friday that “Inflation is still too high, and I expect it will likely be appropriate for the Committee to raise rates further”,  which may support the greenback.

On a political level, we note that the US is nearing a government shutdown, which could be as early as October 1  with the clock ticking for Republicans and Democrats to reach an agreement. Should the US Government default on its debt, we may see the greenback weakening. Over in China, embattled property developer Evergrande, stated on Sunday that it was unable to meet qualifications for the issuance of new notes under its debt restructuring plan, hinting that China’s property woes may be far from over.
